NATIONAL CONSULTATION ON MEDIA FOR ADVOCACY AND EMPOWERMENT OF THE RURAL POOR

摘要

A National Consultation on "Media for Advocacy and Empowerment of Rural Poor" was held on 4 February 2005 with the objective of initiating a process whereby rural issues and those pertaining particularly to the poor could be taken up, on a sustained basis, in the nature of campaigns. It was a collaborative effort of the NIRD and Prasar Bharati. It was hoped that the Consultation would provide a direction to forge and build partnerships between Government, media and other stakeholders.As a first step in this process, the Consultation was, therefore, in the nature of a brainstorming exercise.
