According to officials, students who successfully complete the internship will be awarded certificates as part of the university-prescribed curriculum.
The internship is being mentored by Faheem Tak, Head of News Now J&K, while Atiya Mujeeb, News Anchor and Internship Co-Coordinator, is overseeing its coordination. Academic supervision is being provided by Dr Anuradha Sharma, Head of the Punjabi Department, and Dr Liaqat Jafri, Head of the Urdu Department, with support from Dr Taahira Shah and Dr Balbeer. Students from several districts of Jammu and Kashmir, including Jammu, Srinagar, Poonch, Rajouri, Doda, Ramban, Reasi and Udhampur, are taking part in the programme.
Speaking at the inaugural session, Principal Dr Kulvinder Kour said such industry-oriented initiatives provide students with valuable practical experience, enhance professional skills and prepare them for career opportunities in the media sector.
She said the programme is in line with the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which lays emphasis on experiential learning, skill development and collaboration between academic institutions and industry.
