Here in Rochester NY, I have been able to receive General Overseas Services 
of ALL INDIA RADIO, English program on the 25.62 meter band, between 5:35 PM 
to 6:30 PM (EST). The Programs generally are:
   - News at 6:00 PM (EST)
   - Commentary
   - News-Reel
   - Film Songs
   - Press Review

Actually this broadcast is for United Kingdom & West Europe and is being 
relayed through Cyprus (in Mediterranean). If one can not receive on the 
25.62 meter, try 41.52, 31.50 & 30.27 meters.

One can also receive the VOA (Voice of America) Hindi and Urdu service
on 41 and 19 meter bands. For Hindi Service Timings are 8:30 PM to 9:00 PM
(EST).
