Alfaz-e-Mewat FM 107.8 (Rural voices of Mewat) is a community radio station established in 2012 by S M Sehgal Foundation with seed funding from the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, under its Agricultural Technology Management Agency scheme. The radio station is located in the Agriculture Research Station of village Naugaon, in Alwar district, Rajasthan.

Villagers, schoolchildren, and local artists participate in radio programs and interviews. Community members manage the station as technicians, producers, and facilitators. In areas without radio signals, villagers listen and participate by calling a toll-free number.

Listener Community

The Mewat region, now called Nuh, served by Alfaz-e-Mewat has been identified by the Ministry of Minority Affairs as a "minority-concentrated backward district" with problems in basic areas such as water availability, agricultural production, health, literacy, and a lack of awareness about government entitlements and services. Most people in the region are Meo Muslims, a unique and distinct composite culture. Because women are often isolated at home in these rural communities, community radio provides "a window to the outside world" and a tool for empowering women and girls.

Presently, the community radio covers parts of Mewat (Fiozpur-Jhirka and Nagina blocks) in Haryana and parts of Alwar (Ramgarh Block) in Rajasthan.
