Indian Institute of Journalism & New Media

Description

IIJNM is founded by the BS&G Foundation, a non-profit Trust dedicated to promoting democratic values and institutions in India. The BS&G Foundation is a partnership between the Adi Chunchanagiri Maha Samsthana Trust and The George Foundation. The former also runs several other educational institutions in medicine and engineering, while the latter is engaged in humanitarian projects and environmental issues (see www.tgfworld.org and www.shantibhavanonline.org). As an independent institution not affiliated with or run by any one newspaper or media organization, we are able to maintain wider association within the industry.
