We should keep under consideration Indian society, family, Sanskaras etc in advertising and public relations activities.
Chairing the function, University Vice-Chancellor Prof Brij Kishore Kuthiala said that while carrying out activities of public relations, we should keep in mind their impact on the society and the nation.
He said that newspapers, on the one hand, stress on factual presentation, public relations on the other hand, focuses on creation of positivity. In advertisements, positive and beneficial things are mostly presented keeping aside negative aspects.
