Message from the Dean Communication is considered as a panacea for most problems of the world. A dexterous communicator is required in all walks of life. Fields like journalism, public relations, advertising, event management, development communication, photography, radio jockeying, film making are the branches of a great banyan tree the communication. The school strives hard to bring forth a perfect communicator from the personalities of every student. For us, a communicator is one who has command over language and medium; whose arsenal is stuffed with soft skills; who psychologically understands her/his target audience and their social environment; and last but not the least who can feel the pulse of this youth dominated and sentimental country. SMCS believes that nurturing a budding journalist is in some way strengthening our democracy. So all the programs of our school incorporate the practical and theoretical aspects of this field. The School tries it’s level best to impart education which meets professional standards. Syllabi of this school imbibes the features of UNESCO and UGC model curricula and other prominent universities of the world. The school consistently strives to create industry ready professionals. The field of communication can fulfill its commitment towards society only for all the stakeholders of this very field i.e. media industry, academia and students move forward, hand in hand. For this, we look forward to your support. Dr. Amitabh Srivastava
