Abstract : We present radio continuum observations with the GMRT at 244 and 610 MHz of a small sample of Wolf Rayet (WR) galaxies. Galaxies containing the signatures of Wolf Rayet stars have been known as WR Galaxies. These observations are made to estimate the spectral indices which could help to clarify the nature of the radio emission. We also report the comparison of morphological features using radio, UV (GALEX) and IR (2MASS) and examine the influence of environment on the morphology of the radio continuum emission and spectrum.
