    MICAVaani is the community radio station of Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA) was established in 2005. It uses the frequency 90.4 FM to reach out to surrounding villages that lie within a 7 km of the radius of its campus, viz., Shela, Ghuma, Kaneti, and Telav. Since its inception, the station has strived to create meaningful programs for the people of these communities in accordance with their needs and demands, and also tried to bring about social change in their behavior and attitude. Over the several years since its inception, MICAVaani has developed meaningful content coveringareas like health and nutrition, travel, moral-based stories, radio dramas, films,books, poetry, etc. All our efforts have placed radio at the core to help in listeners' overall development. This paper outlines the work and efforts of the TRIVANI team from MICA to expand the listenership of MICAVaani and how we can leverage radio based education to reduce the number of dropouts from Telav Primary School after 10th standard and also to make students aware of the various opportunities that are open to them after completion of Higher Secondary Education.
