Unlike other subjects media academic is dynamic and ever-evolving as media moves with society which is not static. This is the reason media courses are very often in danger of becoming obsolete. Since university system is slow the syllabi often does not get modified with the result that media students are often founding wanting in basics by the industry.

It is for this reason that SIMS has decided to run a media think tank along with its academic programme. Moreover, it will also benefit our governance.

Our political system or governance has no system or source to get independent and unbiased policy inputs. The vested interests in bureaucracy and the corporate world give inputs which suits them and not the common man. Independent think tanks on socio-economic issues are therefore needed to give right inputs to the administrators and influence government policy in the interest of the masses. This is a job which SIMS has to do.

With four or five universities, two medical colleges, high court, bar, media and bureaucrats--serving and retired--there is no dearth of persons we need to run the think tank. Then outstation experts will be involved by Zoom.
