Department Overview

Director: Prof. Prashant Kumar

In an era of globalisation, the need and importance of Journalism & Mass Communication cannot be over emphasized. It is the result of increasing awareness in the country that Mass Communication is an essential catalyst for national development and social change. Thereby, a Post-graduate programme in Journalism and Mass Communication was started in 2001 and thus the Department of Journalism & Mass Communication came into being at the C.C.S. University Campus. Due to great demand and need for media professionals today, there is a need to strengthen university-based media education and production centres. To fulfil this need, the university has set up a wide range of sophisticated media equipment for its studies, editing and outdoor production work.

The department has come into existence recently and the Post graduate teaching at M.A. level has been initiated to make the people aware of the revolution in the field of mass communication
