ScalerFM is a student-run campus radio initiative that places the voice of SST into its own corridors, mess halls, and common areas — live, moderated, and human. Two student hosts broadcast from a dedicated on-campus room through a speaker network installed across the campus.
Unlike WhatsApp groups or notice boards, ScalerFM reaches every student in every space, simultaneously, with content that is announcements one minute and comedy the next.
This proposal outlines the concept, structure, weekly programming, resource requirements, risk management, and a phased implementation timeline for management review and approval.
A dedicated broadcast room (minimal setup: two microphones, a mixer, a laptop, and a PA interface) serves as the station hub. Speakers — existing PA infrastructure or low-cost additions — carry the signal to the mess, library foyer, hostel common rooms, and outdoor corridors.
Broadcasts run on a defined weekly schedule during non-study hours. All anonymous content is reviewed before air. A rotating audition system ensures the station survives beyond any single batch.

Campus culture is not built by curriculum. It is built by shared experiences — inside jokes, recurring bits, moments people reference years later. ScalerFM creates that fabric.
ScalerFM operates under the Student Initiatives Cell with a faculty advisor. All anonymous content passes through a two-person editorial review before broadcast. Broadcast hours are fixed (no late-night airings). Hosts are selected via semester auditions — the show outlives any individual.
