MUMBAI: Salaam Namaste, a Noida based community radio station (CRS) is doing something extremely unique. The radio station has been going out of its way to get the community closer. They are not just focusing on one class or creed, but every person. And, going by their motto of reaching every member of the society, Salaam Namaste team approached the maids.

They are the ones we hardly think of. We never really pay much heed to them till our daily chores are taking care of by them. They are the ones who keep our homes spick and span but usually, go unnoticed. Salaam Namaste recent made an effort to bring them, the maids, to notice through their special program.
