The CRPF jawans could help the society better if media training is also imparted to them. The paramilitary force currently serves the interests of the society in adverse conditions.
Its jawans are deployed in remote locations where the media have no access. A media training if provided to them will be useful.
CRPF Commandant Shyam Sundar expressed these views at the valedictory function of week-long electronic media training workshop, organised by the Electronic Media Department of the Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Communication.The jawans were imparted training in audio, video and photography in the special training programme.
Addressing the function as the chief guest, Sundar said there is big difference between training in army and training programme being run in universities. The media training will enhance their skills.
He said CRPF had successfully tackled violence in Jammu and Kashmir and assisted in wars. They provided relief at the time of crisis and flood situation.
Presiding over the function, University Rector lajpat Ahuja said that the training workshop got appreciations in recent General Council meeting, held under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. It was emphasised on expanding such training programmes.
Ahuja said the CRPF jawans are always ready to protect the people in the country even when they are in danger. He further said, the jawans can make short films to show case their achievements.
The training will be useful and fruitful only when the exercise continues.
