BANGALORE: Thousands of learners across all age groups, many of whom have no access to formal education, have been left teacherless. The All India Radio has taken off air all 37 Gyanvani educational FM radio stations, the formidable teaching tool of Indira Gandhi National Open University (Ignou). The varsity allegedly failed to clear the outstanding dues. 

The move, which came into effect on October 1, has sent shockwaves among those pursuing education through non-formal channels. A desperate Sunny Singh, a learner from New Delhi, posted on October 3 on Gyanvani's Faceook wall: 'Your station is not working. So I have a big problem sir. Please repair it quickly.'
