Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, June 10 : Mr. Waheed-ur-Rehman, Secretary, Kashmir Creative Education Foundation, Pulwama, called on Mr. N. N. Vohra, Governor, at Raj Bhavan, here today. Mr. Rehman briefed the Governor about the activities of the Foundation relating to enlarging legal awareness, promotion of education, youth activities and sports.
Mr. Rehman, who is Chief Executive of the HBN Channel, also briefed the Governor about the various programmes telecast by this private local TV channel, particularly in South Kashmir, for spreading education and the message of peace and development. He said that the other main focus areas of this channel are group discussions on the issues relating to governance, public grievances and development needs of the people, organizing peace conferences at school and college levels and the promotion of education. The Governor observed that while the media has to play an
important role in creating awareness among the people about the ongoing programmes and policies of the Government and in highlighting the problems and needs of the public at large, the most crucial role that a TV channel within the Valley can play would be to foster and extend the goals of a sound educational system, as this sector is required to play a vital role in reviving the society and restoring its erstwhile balance. He added that private channels like HBN can contribute in a big way towards securing these objectives. |
