IIMC to start specialisation programme for journalists: Union minister Vaishnaw

Key Highlights

• “We have seen, globally, journalists get the opportunity to specialise in technology, economy, strategy, and so many other sectors so that, they can collect that knowledge and have that research potential which is there in them.
