Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has recently introduced a new course called Master of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication, in two Indian languages. Interested students can visit the official IGNOU website ignou.ac.in.
Details about the program will soon be made available on the official website. While the MAJMC program is already being offered in the English language — in both online, and open and Distance Learning modes — it will now be offered in Hindi and Tamil.
According to the sources, the details of this course will be made available on the official website of IGNOU soon. It is important to mention here that the MAJMC course is already available for the students to pursue in the English language, both online as well as in Distance Learning modes. But, the good thing is that it will now be available in Hindi and Tamil language. Therefore, the students of both these languages can now pursue this course in their mother language.
The School of Journalism and New Media Studies, or SOJNMS has launched this program for integrating recommendations of the National Education Policy, or NEP, 2020. The purpose of introducing this course is to facilitate the teaching-learning process in several Indian languages.
The educationists hope that soon this course will be replicated across disciplines in other Indian Languages by the University.
