H K Dua inaugurates print media seminar

Editor-in-Chief, The Tribune, Mr H.K.Dua has called upon the lecturers to adopt the Wall Paper Activity strategy and encourage the learners to contribute articles to the journals periodically. Mr Dua was addressing the lecturers on ‘Opportunities for Youth in Print Media’ as part of the one-week seminar on Revisiting Pedagogic Concerns from December 4-9. The seminar is being organized by Regional Institute of English (RIE).
Addressing the audience, Mr. H. K. Dua traced the evolution of English as the link language, to move on to ascertain its position as the Global language. At a time where controversies surrounded the 3-language formula, the Indian Government set up Institutes like Central Institute of English (Hyderabad) and RIE (Chandigarh & Bangalore) to enrich the Indian students with the English language.
In the process of gaining a hold over other languages, English has also been instrumental in inspiring people to invest in science and technology. During the interactive session with the participants Mr.Dua appraised the participants about the opportunities for the youth in the field of print journalism. In order to hone the reading and writing skills of the students, he suggested that students should be encouraged to do creative writing.
That would be a stepping stone for the learners to join the print media. Welcoming the guest, Director RIE, Dr. Sharda Kaushik appraised about the deliberations of the participants attending the seminar on the standards of improving English in India.
