New Delhi. : The Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) has announced a significant investment of Rs 200 crore to upgrade its academic and training infrastructure, aiming to advance media education in India. This transformative initiative includes the introduction of new academic programmes, the modernization of facilities, and the establishment of incubation centres across its campuses.

IIMC Registrar Nimish Rustagi revealed that two new MA programmes, Media Business Studies and Strategic Communication, were launched in August 2024. Each programme has an intake capacity of 80 students, marking a major step forward in expanding the institute’s academic offerings.

A key highlight of this initiative is the approval of a Rs 200 crore budget by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for the construction of a new campus in Amravati, Maharashtra, and the expansion of existing facilities. These projects, slated for completion within two years, are expected to significantly enhance the institute’s infrastructure and academic reach.

To modernize its resources, IIMC has equipped all six campuses with state-of-the-art audiovisual tools and MoJo (Mobile Journalism) studios. Libraries have been enriched with new books, and computer labs have been upgraded with high-end PCs and the latest software, ensuring students have access to cutting-edge technology.

In a bid to foster innovation and entrepreneurship, IIMC has inaugurated its first-ever incubation centres in Delhi and Kottayam. These centres aim to provide students and entrepreneurs with opportunities to develop and implement innovative ideas in the media industry.

The developments mark 2024 as a landmark year for IIMC, positioning it as a frontrunner in media education and innovation.
