VOM : Voice of Mongolia


Mongolian Costume , Voice of Mongolia

Voice of Mongolia (VOM) stands as Mongolia's sole overseas broadcasting service, administered by Mongolian Radio & Television, a public service broadcaster under the purview of the Mongolian Government. The origins of this broadcasting endeavor can be traced back to the early 1930s when transmission activities commenced in Ulaanbaatar during the months of May and June 1931. Gombyn Sodnom, the Minister of Trade and Industry at the time, orchestrated this pioneering effort. 

The Mongolian National Radio, with a nationwide reach, was officially launched on September 1, 1934. Subsequently, in the early 1960s, local radio broadcasting became accessible within Ulaanbaatar, and a second national radio channel was inaugurated.

The annals of short-wave international broadcasting in Mongolia span over five decades, with the inaugural transmission in September 1964 marking a historic moment. This initial broadcast, which lasted for half an hour, was transmitted in both the Mongolian and Chinese languages, directed towards China. Over the ensuing years, the scope of Mongolian international broadcasting experienced notable growth. This expansion encompassed the diversification of languages employed, an increase in broadcast hours, and an expansion of the target areas. 

Noteworthy milestones included the establishment of four additional Long-wave transmitters in various locations, commencing with Ölgii in 1965. The English service of Radio Ulaanbaatar was introduced on January 29, 1965, and later rebranded as The Voice Of Mongolia on January 1, 1997.

In the contemporary landscape, The Voice Of Mongolia continues to deliver diverse programs designed to offer insights into Mongolia and its people, delving into their history, traditions, and culture. Aligning with the new policy of the Mongolian Government, The Voice Of Mongolia adheres to principles of unbiased reporting, abstaining from propagandistic endeavors. Its daily broadcast schedule spans eight hours, catering to audiences in five languages: Mongolian, English, Chinese, Russian, and Japanese.

Traditional Cloths of Mongolia

Mongolian Dress Mongolian dress has changed little since the days of the empire, because it is supremely well-adapted to the conditions of life on the steppe and the daily activities of pastoral nomads. However, there have been some changes in styles which distinguish modern Mongolian dress from historic costume. The deel, or kaftan, is the Mongolian traditional garment worn on workdays and special days. It is a long, loose gown cut in one piece with the sleeves; it has a high collar and widely overlaps at the front. The deel is girdled with a sash. Mongolian deels always close on the wearer's right and traditionally have five fastenings. Modern deels often have decoratively cut overflaps, small round necklines, and sometimes contain a Mandarin collar. Depictions of Mongols during the time of the empire, however, show deels with more open necklines, no collars, and very simply cut overflaps, similar to the deels still worn by lamas in modern Mongolia.
