Ram Singh Bouddh, affectionately known as the 'Radio Man', has secured his place in the Guinness World Records by amassing an extraordinary collection of over 1,250 radios.
On February 13, 2024, Bouddh set the record with 1,257 radios in his hometown of Gajraula, Uttar Pradesh. His fascination with radios began with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's broadcast, 'Mann Ki Baat'. The recognition came on September 26 after a revisit by the Guinness team, which documented the selected 1,257 pieces from his vast collection.
Beyond radios, Bouddh's collection includes 200 film reels, antiques like ancient watches and gramophones, and a vast array of historical coins and manuscripts. He aims to establish a radio museum to preserve and showcase this communication heritage, a vision supported by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Modi.
