Dhar spoke on the formation of a Centre for Media Studies, which will include an Oral History Cell, a Language Lab, and a Community Radio Station, as part of his larger vision for the Department.
He also highlighted that the practical component of the training will be essential.
Prof Dhar thanked Sh Manoj Sinha, Hon'ble Governor of J&K and Chancellor of Jammu University, for his assistance and advice.
