Chandigarh Chapter of the Public Relations Council of India (PRCI) honoured the Panjab University’s community radio, Jyotirgamaya 91.2MHz, here today, for its weekly programme ‘Hamari Beti’ on the Daughters’ Day celebrations.
National Executive Vice President of PRCI, C.J. Singh, informed that PRCI had been organizing Daughters Day since 2011, to focus on the issues of discrimination confronting the women in the country and sensitise the population, and this year the National Council of PRCI has already submitted a petition to the Prime Minister office for declaring 1st July as the National Daughters Day.
The PRCI presented a plaque of honour to Prof. A.K. Grover, Vice Chancellor of Panjab University, Chandigarh and Dr Jayant Pethkar, Chairman, School of Communication Studies, on this occasion.
The Chapter also recognized the contribution of the School of Communication Studies, then chairperson of the SCS, Dr. Archana R. Singh, and radio station technical head, Sunil Sharma.
Prof Grover also complimented Dr Archana R. Singh who has taken the ‘Hamari Beti’ programme to the next level by writing a project in collaboration with Punjab State Council for Science and Technology with Dr Neelam Gulati Sharma as her co-principal investigator for “Science for Women’s Health and Nutrition” whereby this programme would become a daily broadcast from its current weekly status.
Prof Grover listed out diverse dimensions that the community radio could work on including interviewing the toppers, the PhD scholars, the science and technology departments in the university, as well as inculcating amongst the students of the University a sense of responsible citizenship whereby they should pledge to desist from wasteful expenditure in weddings and family celebrations, not to overburden their parents with avoidable expenses, and avoid any addiction.
Dr Archana R. Singh informed that the project would get underway and ‘Hamari Beti’ programme would go weekly from 15th of July as a part of the programme to address the women’s health and nutrition issues.
The Rotary Club Chandigarh’s President2017-18 Rtn. P.S. Matharoo, also commended the the community radio station for supporting the Hamari Beti project.
