IIMC will be upgraded as an International Media University

June 12th, 2008

PIB press releases the following.

Minister of Information & Broadcasting, Shri P. R. Dasmunsi has said that ‘I am very happy to announce that we have decided to upgrade the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) as an International Media University. The Planning Commission has already approved the proposal and my Ministry is working to make this Institute into a world class media education, training and research University, by an Act of Parliament. This will fulfill the growing demand of the media industry to provide more trained and qualified professionals. He was delivering the convocation address at IIMC here today.’

NOTE: I am not sure about fate of IIMC Dhenkanal. In another development, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University has advertised for Vice-Chancellor post.

    I am 100% sure that they are talking about IIMC New Delhi only, the most pampered place by the center.

    My guess is that the Dhenkanal IIMC may see some nominal changes only.
