class situation can be generaed. A separate cell was established by UGC to emphasize this scheme which
is called as Mass Communicaitoners. Beside this, 6 research centres were established which are called as
Audio-Visual Media Research Centers. At these centers, programme were designed as well as imported
from other countries.
