Suryadatta Patrakarita Puraskar

It is pertinent to mention that these days the nature, role and responsibilities of media is transforming and media enhances the teaching-learning effectiveness by utilizing various media such as print, radio, video, television, internet, e-learning which has become rigorous.

It is a known fact that the media is playing an outstanding role in strengthening society. Its duty is to inform, educate and entertain masses. It also helps us to know current situation across the world. Media in its different forms has a strong social and cultural impact on society. Due to its inherent ability to reach masses, it is widely used to convey message to build public opinion and generate awareness.

As harbingers of change are giving voice to issues prevalent in the society. Both society and media are complementary to each other. Media is essential for the transformation of the society.

Therefore, media is rightly considered as “mirror” of the modern society which shapes our lives. It is this contribution of Media representatives for which Suryadatta Group of Institutes takes pleasure in conferring “Suryabharat Patrakarita Puraskar” to recognize their relentless efforts towards bringing transformation in the society.
