Video Volunteers

Video Volunteers (VV) runs India's only reporting network that's focused exclusively on providing broad coverage from the poorest, most media-dark districts in India. We currently have 206 individuals trained across India's most diverse and marginalised communities, who all earn a living as a VV Community Correspondent (CC). Our goal is to grow our network to ensure India's poorest and most conflict-ridden districts have a video producer and news outlet.

This week in India Loud & Clear we travel to conflicts that impact millions of Indians every day.

In the third episode of India Loud & Clear, we visit the states of Goa and Odisha to see the struggles for trees and water resources from local communities. In West Bengal patriarchy shows its evil side by the stories of two brave women. A girl power gang shows the only way to address this gender issue: stand up and fight!

India Loud & Clear is the weekly news show produced by Video Volunteers, the media organization by and from Community Correspondents. We bring you no breaking news, no sensation, only community voices.

Stories from Community Correspondent, Devidas Gaonkar (Goa), Bideshini Patel (Odisha), Krishna Mondal (West Bengal), and Debgopal Mondal (West Bengal)
