[prpoint] Re: UG & PG Courses in PR, Masscom & Journalism in AP

Hi

I appreciate the initiative taken by our colleagues in AP. This will
be a good example for other states aslo.

I would like you to consider adding the following areas in your syllabus.

1. Social media is emerging as a great tool of communication globally.

2. Many corporates still do not understand the importance of IPO
communication. IPO communication is a great opportunity for brand
building for a long term.

3. Corporate Governance in all areas of functions in organisations. I
am not referring the corporate governance defined by SEBI. It should
be in the various functions like HR, Marketing, etc. You can include
as to how communication plays a greater role in the corporate goverance.

4. As one of our friends referred erlier, Right to information Act is
another signficant act that has to be understood by private sector.
Already, we also dealt with in our ezine. Presently, private sector
thinks that RTI Act has no relevance for them. RTI Act has more
relevance to private sector than even public sector. RTI Act has
brought in more transparency in communication.

I also suggest that you consult Prof. UKC, dean and director of
symbiosis, a pioneer organisation in Asia for some more ideas. He is also in our group.

Prime Point Foundation will extend all its support for your endeavours.
