\"Amroha’s<\/div>\n
Ram Singh Bouddh<\/a>, a 68-year-old resident of Gajraula<\/a> in Amroha<\/a>, has fulfilled his dream of being recognized by Guinness World Records<\/a> for having the largest collection of radios. After a year of communication, the Guinness record keepers confirmed that “the largest collection of radios<\/a> is 1,257 and was achieved by Ram Singh Bouddh,” officially listing his name on their website. <\/p>\n

Although Bouddh owns 1,400 radios, the Guinness guidelines require each item to be unique, leading to the exclusion of duplicates.<\/p>\n

The previous record was held by M Prakash, who had a collection of 625 different radios back in July 2005.<\/p>\n

Here’s all you need to know about Bouddh’s journey<\/h2>\n

In April 2023, Bouddh’s passion for radios gained attention through an article in TOI, which eventually led to a mention in Prime Minister Modi’s radio program, ‘Mann Ki Baat<\/a>.’ <\/p>\n

Speaking about Bouddh’s dedication, Modi remarked, “One of the achievements of Mann Ki Baat is that it has made radio more popular. I received a letter from Ram Singh Bouddh ji from Amroha on ‘MyGov.’ <\/p>\n


He has been collecting radios for many decades. He says after Mann Ki Baat, curiosity about his museum increased among the public.” This acknowledgment resulted in Bouddh receiving a special invitation to attend this year\u2019s Republic Day parade<\/a> in New Delhi.As Bouddh waits for the official memento from Guinness World Records, his recent achievement has reignited his ambition to establish a radio museum<\/a> in his hometown. “I hope my efforts to build a museum will help future generations learn about the impact of radio on our society, from its early days as a communication tool to its modern forms,” he said.<\/p>\n

In March, Bouddh submitted a proposal to Moradabad authorities for the creation of a radio museum, followed by an inquiry from the office of the Amroha district magistrate.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Bouddh has invested significant amounts in various junk markets across Delhi, Meerut, and other towns to expand his radio collection<\/a>, with the oldest piece dating back to 1920.<\/p>\n
