CHENNAI: Opening the doors for students from downtrodden communities
in professional journalism courses, the Tamil Nadu Adi Dravidar
Housing Development Corporation (TAHDCO), a Public Sector Undertaking
by the Government of Tamil Nadu, has planned to sponsor 10 SC/ST
students pursuing media courses in Asian College of Journalism from
the forthcoming academic year.
"A decision to this effect was taken at a review meeting of TAHDCO
district managers in the city on Tuesday," Minister for Adi Dravida
Welfare A Tamilarasi told Express. "As the presence of students
hailing from the Scheduled Caste is low in the field of journalism, we
felt the need for opening new avenues for them in this area of
studies," she said and added that an amount close to Rs 3 lakh would
be spent on each student.
When asked about the selection criteria, she said ACJ would be
involved in the process and the role of TAHDCO is confined only to
sponsoring those students. Tamilarasi claimed that a student, who had
got training in marine course with aid from the government, is earning
a decent income.
