These are still early days, as he has taken charge of the ministry recently and artistes hope that the minister will deliver Tmiracles. The extension of viewing hours at nine Indian heritage sites and the decisions he took laying importance on tangible Indian heritage is being appreciated by everyone. But, Indian intangible heritage, Indian arts and the artistes who depend on them, did not yet make it to his priority list. The question is whether the honourable minister did not look into it or the officials who are responsible failed to bring it to his notice? Or are these so-called gurus and exponents of Indian arts meeting the minister only for their self benefits? When these stalwarts get an appointment with the minister, are they discussing the problems faced by Indian artists across the country? These are some questions that need an answer. Many youngsters are getting into the mould of Indian classical dances with the hope to excel. Though there is ample scope for providing opportunities, apex bodies like Sangeet Natak Akademi, ICCR and Zonal Centres have only been tending to those artists with lobbies and influence at the central level. This is the unfortunate situation represented by the common Indian artiste. The new minister for culture, Prahlad Singh Patel, should overcome all obstacles and make decisions that would benefit the Indian classical, traditional and folk arts and the artistes who depend on them for a livelihood. Some artists suggest that the government should establish a national corporation to support artistes. More importantly, it needs to take measures to provide adequate performing opportunities to artistes. Special attention towards the welfare of people connected to Indian performing arts is the need of the hour. Keeping these things in mind, the honourable minister should take necessary steps that would enable dancers, musicians, teachers, technicians, critics and writers to lead a fulfilling life. The ministry needs to create employment and show a path to these people intertwined with Indian arts. Jai Hind!

  • 3Rd All India Media Educators' Conference-2018 on Power of Media and Technology: Shaping the Future
    CONFERENCE REPORT 3RD ALL INDIA MEDIA EDUCATORS' CONFERENCE-2018 ON POWER OF MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY: SHAPING THE FUTURE July 6 - 8, 2018 Geeta Girdhar Sabhagaar Pearl Academy of Fashion Designing & Media Jaipur Jointly Organised By: Centre for Mass Communication, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur Department of Communication & Journalism, Gauhati University, Guwahati Lok Samvad Sansthan, Jaipur Submitted By: Kalyan Singh Kothari Secretary Lok Samvad Sansthan BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT During the last 70 years since Independence, the position of media has taken a radical shift in India. The ingrained transformation of the Indian society during its journey in the last seven decades, especially in the post-globalization period, has left a noteworthy impact on media. The evolution has also placed challenges before the Indian media scenario. The character of these challenges has kept on changing with the emergence of new social, cultural and political context and has assumed a new perspective following the advent of information technology, Internet and social media, visible in the multiplicity of platforms. The Indian media had a sound role in the struggle for Independence. But it faces a challenge in the present scenario to maintain its high standards commensurate with its glorious past. Subsequently, the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been entering into all forms of media. Though the entertainment media industry has been the prime area of FDI, the other genres like print, electronic even radio industries are now becoming lucrative targets of FDI. Though a focus is laid on the expansion of facilities or creation of new geographic market to speak high about FDI in media sector, experience and apprehensions point to several negative aspects.
