Training programme for Journalists inaugurated at IGNOU

New Delhi: The coverage of the recent Mumbai mayhem by some Indian electronic channels indirectly helped the terrorists who could change their guards within the Taj Hotel rooms to safely fire at the security agencies. That was not a proper coverage. Similarly, the members in the media must know that the term 'Trial by Media' is also not quite rational, for the right to try is only vested in the Judiciary and the media can only interpret the trial with logic and wit. In the background of this concept, a five-day residential training of journalists and legal correspondents began on Sunday at the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) Convention Centre. The training programme is the brainchild of the Chief Justice of India (CJI), Dr. Justice KG Balakrishnan. Taking the cue from him, the National Legal Services Authority (NLSA) and IGNOU think-tank has jointly organized the training programme free of cost to journalists and scribes reporting on courts. The Press Council of...

IGNOU's SSA workshops for Master Trainers from Oct 16

New Delhi: At a recent conference on 'Right to Education', organized by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), rights experts and educators advised state governments that they should not wait for any Central Government legislation to exercise the 'Right to Education' and assume the responsibility actively on their own. "Taking English language education to the voiceless underprivileged is always a formidable task. English, being an essential carrier of knowledge in India promising prosperity, is a component in the government's draft policies of both 'Education for All' and 'Right to Education'", the experts and educators agreed. Keeping this in perspective, the Distance Education Programme (DEP) of Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), which is the nodal centre of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (and thus is jointly acronymed as DEP-SSA), has decided to hold workshops for Master Trainers, who are also called Resource Persons (RPs). Th...
