Campus Wale Couple (CWC) Launches Tomorrow

CWC alias Campus Wale Couple received overwhelming response from couples and their batch-mates. It connected us with more than 30 esteemed alumni of batches ranging from 80s to 90s whom we were unable to contact by other means so far.

We had a strong chapter in Rajasthan but chapter was unaware of the presence of Mr. Manas Gupta & Ms. Swaty Prakash in Jaipur. This initiative brought us close to them & several such campus couples.

Alumni of respective batches & specially Prof. M.R. Dua helped us a lot in this initiative with their valuable inputs.

IIMC Alumni Association would like to thank all who enriched this lovely list of CWC family. We shall run this album starting January 1 to February 14.

Inclusive Media Fellowships Deadline Extended till Dec 31

Inclusive Media for Change, a CSDS-based initiative invites applications from journalists in English and Hindi for Inclusive Media Fellowships 2012-13.

 

The Fellowships are given to bring spotlight on Rural Development and to promote democratic social change, particularly through empowerment, decentralization, convergence and good use of existing development schemes by Panchayats and local bodies. The Inclusive Media for Change runs a clearing house of ideas, information and alternatives on rural India (www.im4change.org), conducts research and organises media workshops.

 

The ideal candidates would be willing to spend considerable time with rural communities and write series of stories or produce radio/ TV programmes on grassroots issues that require wider coverage and public attention. The fellowship seeks to cover all travel and incidental expenses subject to an upper limit of Rs 150,000 required by candidates to enhance their understanding, to take time off from routine work, and to spend up to eight weeks in rural areas. The payment is intended to cover and reimburse costs of news gathering and logistics and the total number can go up to 10 fellowships in Hindi and English.

 

The fellowships are open to journalists working for any newspapers/ magazines/ radio or TV channels on themes of India's rural development and agrarian distress though preference will be given to those working for the mainstream media. Those working for well-known media websites are eligible to apply though a maximum of two fellowships can be given for news media platforms. The topics/ projects chosen must be about happenings/ issues/ positive interventions/ alternatives in areas of rural livelihoods, agrarian crises, hunger/ malnutrition, public health, and successful implementation of decentralized planning by panchayats. Up to two fellowships each in Hindi and English will be supported by the Gene campaign/ Centre for Policy Research and will be reserved for highlighting issues of exclusion and hunger/ malnutrition or their eradication through innovation and positive intervention.  An ideal candidate will have genuine interest in rural development with an open mind and will be willing to spend time in rural areas so as to gather first-hand information. 

 

The fellows will be given a chance to refine their project proposal after their selection. They will be particularly encouraged to write about issues of positive interventions, decentralization as mandated by the Constitution of India and those of empowerment of common people resulting in rural development and positive social change.

 

The final output of the selected Inclusive Media Fellows will be in the form of stories or series of reports/ articles/ radio or TV packages to be carried by the media platforms sponsoring the candidates with due acknowledgement to the Inclusive Media Project of the CSDS. Out of the fellowship duration of up to eight weeks, two to four weeks are assigned for news/ material gathering and the remaining two weeks to take time off for writing/ producing/ editing or compiling the information gathered.

 

All professional journalists employed by news outlets and free lancers (who can provide evidence of support and publication from preferably a mainstream media outlet) are eligible to apply. The media organization will have to give an undertaking that the final output of the fellowship would be used in their publications in a format of their choice (i.e., series of reports, travelogues, edit/ op-ed articles, documentary film or TV/radio packages). Entries without the editors' undertaking will not be considered.

 

The last date for applications is Monday December 31, 2012. The selection will be done by a jury of eminent journalists and development thinkers. A part of the fellowship money will be given as advance in order to fund the initial research and travels, and the rest will be given after receiving the evidence of the project's completion.  The fellowship is intended to cover costs of logistics and newsgathering and not meant to be in the form of salary or honorarium.
