The National Public Relations Day was organized by the Advertising and Public Relations Department of Kushabhau Thakre University of Journalism and Mass Communication (KTUJM) on Friday.
Umesh Mishra, Joint Director, State Public Relations Department was the Chief Guest on the occasion.
He motivated the students to chase their passion. “A Public Relations Officer can never get annoyed. He or she can neither annoy his or her management nor can bother the journalists. One who can handle both even during crisis situations is called a true Public Relations Officer,” said Mishra.
“The involvement of professional skills in social life is called Public Relations,” added the Joint Secretary.
Vice Chancellor Dr (Professor) Man Singh Parmar highlighted about the benefits of the Public Relations sector. Journalism Department’s Faculty Member PN Pandey focussed on the dedication required in the professional world.
Students from various departments of the university attended the programme. Apart from the celebration, officials associated with the National University Student’s Skill Development (NUSSD) programme being coordinated by Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) and Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports gave a verbal presentation about the same.
KTUJM is mulling to begin the course during the summer season. It is basically for the undergraduate and post graduate students. The concerned officials said a meeting of the NUSSD Delhi officers is scheduled with the VC on April 27 regarding the commencement of the certificate course here.
