Answer:
Amateur radio, also known as 'Ham radio', does not refer to a special kind of radio but to a special set of rules which apply to certain frequencies as defined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and regulated in India by the Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing, Ministry of Communications, Government of India.
