It was established in September 2009 by Dr Richard Rego SJ who is known as the founder of this campus based community radio.
Sarang means 'harmony of colours' signifying various social, religious, linguistic communities and their peaceful coexistence at coastal Karnataka.
The radio also spreads messages of peace and harmony among people through programs based on the need for the same specially during celebrations and when such need is felt.
Today it has 16 hours of daily programmes ranging from educational to social to health and cultural issues and aspects.
On 15 August 2010 (India's Independence Day) Community Radio SARANG 107.8 MHz created a new record by broadcasting live for 14-continuous hours, a record repeated on 14 August 2012, this time including on-the-spot reporting using mobile telephony, from the field, reporting live hoisting of the National Flag, by village communities.
In June 2012, it also started broadcasting a regular program on Koraga culture – a small backward community of Karnataka.
