Samvad Kendra Gujarat |
| |
On realizing
the urgency for awakening the nation as a whole keeping
in mind the promotion of nationality, the grand idea
of setting up a media center was conceived. Besides,
it was also considered to be an equally important responsibility
of such media centre to assist all those institutions/organizations
who cannot afford to have their own media centre.
Certainly, the people of Bharat are
taking a great in its rich heritage of unenviable and
long tradition of sacrifice for the nation. But unfortunately,
there are quite many media keeping themselves away from
such facts that are strengthening nationality. It was
also noticed that in a number of instances, such media
were found engaged in misleading the nation with prejudiced
and mutilated, half hearted information. |

Conception : |
