Journalism, not Management is the buzz-word for Indian youth now.

VISHAL SHARMA
INDIA (Agra), 06 Dec. In the changing world scenario, the field of Journalism holds new promises & career opportunities for the young generation and it is the growing trend among youngsters of India to choose journalism as their profession, instead of entering a management school.
With the advent of Print, Visual & Virtual (PVV) journalism, the demand for trained journalists is growing by the day which still needs to be fulfilled through a world-class institute. To cater this demand, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University, Agra has decided to revamp its journalism courses through a tie-up with the Pioneer Media School which is currently running its journalism courses in Delhi & Lucknow.
Talking to mediapersons on Monday, the University V-C Prof. A.S. Kukla said that the Kanhiyalal Maniklal Munsi Institute of Hindi and Linguistics is the oldest institute of the University, running master’s courses in journalism, but the structure of these courses does not correspond to the needs of new-age journalism and the need for completely revamping the course structure was being felt for long.
Now, with the University Grants Commission providing a grant of Rs. 50 lacs for the expansion of the KMI, the journalism courses being run by the University can get the advantage of new advancements in the field of journalism. He said that a separate building is being planned for running the journalism courses and a well-equipped media-lab is the process of development to enhance the professional skills of journalists this University produces.
He said that the university is also planning for a tie-up with the the Pioneer Media School to provide professional faculties, facilities and on-job training to the budding journalists of this University, along with job opportunities. He said that linking with a professionally oriented organization like The Pioneer would also mean interfacing to a vast pool of knowledge and experience that would ultimately benefit the students who would turn out to be excellent journalists in the future.

Woman torched to death by inlaws on International Women's Day in India

AGRA.               It could serve as a well-placed slap in the face of the the groups of so-called women's rights activists who all too recently celebrated International Women’s Day, fervently praising the contribution made by women to the society and vowing to prevent violence against the feminine gender comfortably ensconced in luxurious clubs and hotels.    While the world was busy celebrating women’s day, a young girl was murdered in cold-blood, torched to death by her in-laws in Kayamganj town of Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, alongwith a 6-month fetus inside her, just three years after marriage.    Two weeks have passed since the grisly murder but the local police appears to be in no hurry to catch the absconding in-laws who doused the girl in kerosene and left her to burn and die on the street, making good their escape while the locals awaited for the police to arrive. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother Archana Sharma has suffered from a strok

My views on Libya, India and the permanent SC seat

On Wednesday, the British government 'de-recognized' the Gaddafi government and decided that it was in the interest of democracy to recognize the Libyan rebels as the only legal representative of the Libyan people. Immediately after that, the British Police entered the Libyan embassy in London and forced the remaining Libyan diplomats out of UK. France has already been parachuting modern weaponry, arms and ammunition to the Libyan rebel strongholds and both France and the United States have recognized the rebels as the legal Libyan representative power. While I am not a fan of Gaddafi or his regime in any way or form but I am equally disappointed in NATO's tactics and the double standards being played by the western powers in the Arab world. Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein had been two sore patches in the otherwise near-sweeping 'western conquest' of the Arab world and its oil. Only now, when a group of disenchanted Libyans, trained and provided for by wes

Vishal Sharma / Agra December 29, 2008, 0:00 IST Govardhan Udyog plans to use cowdung to produce particle board. Faced with the task of developing environment-friendly technology for industry due to guidelines issued by the Supreme Court, entrepreneurs in Agra are realising the cost-effective potential of such technologies and innovations. Govardhan Udyog is one such unit which plans to use a non-conventional raw material, cowdung, to produce particle board and pharmaceutical products. The unit was inaugurated this week on the Agra-Delhi national highway near the Mathura refinery, about 55 km from Agra. Company sources said the basic raw material used in the manufacture of particle board will be cow dung. This will perhaps make it the first particle board manufacturing facility using cowdung as the raw material. Govardhan Udyog Managing Director SK Mittal said particle boards were emerging as a viable alternative in designing office furniture and automation products in the country as c
