MUMBAI: WION is happy to announce its one of a kind, weekly show - South Asia Diary. The show will focus on stories from South Asia, the most populous yet the most under-reported region in the world. The show will be broadcast every Monday at 8:30 PM IST starting from December 9, on WION and its website. The weekly show will bring reports on politics, technology, environment, entertainment and culture from the region. South Asia Diary will be anchored by Mariam Wardak, who is a security analyst and advocate for gender inclusion in Afghanistan. She is the founder of 'Her Afghanistan', a global online platform for professionals around the world to support Afghan women in fields of security, peace, foreign policy, and technology. She also established the first female research network in Afghanistan in 2010 for technical support.

South Asia is not only the world's most populous and culturally diverse region but also one of the fastest-growing. WION intends to give a voice to this region, by showcasing its unheard growth stories. To comprehensively cover the region, there will be eight reports every week, one from each of the 8 South Asian countries.

WION is India’s first International English news channel. It is available in South Asia and across the globe.
