The event will offer a healthy blend of knowledge generation and display of talent by various participants and scholars. Various papers on diverse topics touching on media and environment will be presented by senior/junior lecturers, scholars and graduate/post-graduate students.

The idea behind the two-day festival is to enhance the abilities of the students and give them an opportunity to exhibit their talent.

Media-Manthan 2012 is open to students and general public and there’s no registration fee.

With speakers and veterans from various fields expressing their opinions, the two-day seminar encouraged the media professionals to be fair and unbiased in their work.
