OUR CORRESPONDENT

ITANAGAR: The Rajiv Gandhi University Students' Union (RGUSU) has urged state Education Minister P D Sona to introduce Mass Communication and Psychology courses at Arunachal Pradesh University (APU) in Pasighat and government colleges across the state.

The request was presented in a memorandum during the minister's visit to the central varsity as part of the 42nd Foundation Day celebrations.

Highlighting the growing demand for skilled professionals in these fields, the RGUSU emphasised their significance in enhancing individual well-being and societal development.

The union praised the success of RGU's existing Mass Communication and Psychology departments but underscored the need to expand these programs, especially at the undergraduate level and in government colleges.

"The absence of undergraduate programs in Mass Communication in government colleges creates a significant barrier for aspiring students," the memorandum noted, pointing out that neighboring states already offer diverse courses in this field.

The RGUSU argued that establishing such programmes would not only boost APU's academic reputation but also support the growth of Arunachal Pradesh's media sector.
