The Department of Public Relations (DPR), Panjab University and Chandigarh Chapter of Public Relations Council of India (PRCI) organised an interactive session with Mr Pushpinder Singh, the founder and Director of one of India’s leading advertising agencies, Saints and Warriors, Mumbai, here today.

Addressing the public relations and advertising professionals, Pushpinder Singh said that creativity is the key to profitability of any business, though they are no more than 1 percent of such agencies in the country engaged in creative work.

Though digital agencies have mushroomed in the country, hardly anyone is making profits except those engaged in digital media buying.

Responding to the question of future of Indian print media vis-à-vis advent of digital media, Pushpinder said that print media would survive in the country only because of huge niches and pockets of markets available for the print media to reach out, where vernacular media has succeeded.

The digital versions of newspapers have cropped up though none has any robust revenue model in place, which would continue to exist with the printed versions, he added.

CJ Singh, National Executive Vice President of PRCI underlined the need for result-oriented communication approach and strategies to benefit the stakeholders that any organisation intends to reach.

Renuka B. Salwan, Director Public Relations, and Vice Chairperson of Northern Region of PRCI, provided an overview of the PRCI in upgrading the skills of the PR professionals, and presented vote of thanks to the guest speaker.

IMPHAL: The wife of a serving Lt Colonel who had reportedly accused his superiors of extortion and carrying out fake encounters sought help on Tuesday from Manipur police and social organisations for the safety of her husband, alleging that he was arrested by the Army without any warrant two days ago.

In an FIR lodged with the local police, Ranju Singh said an Army team led by a Lt Colonel picked up her husband, Lt. Col Dharamvir Singh of 3 Corps of Intelligence and Surveillance Unit (CISU), from his official quarters here at 6.30 am on Sunday. She said that the officers told Dharamvir that he was being taken into custody as per the direction of the commandant of 3 CISU.

Ranju said since she was not keeping well, she had sent the family’s help to get some medicines, but he was not allowed to move out of the Army complex. She added that she, along with her two children, later left the quarter to stay at a friend’s house. She feared that the Army might plant incriminating documents in her husband’s room.

Later in the evening, Ranju met the media at the Manipur Press Club to narrate the incident in detail. With her minor daughters by her side, she questioned the Army’s motive and said, “I am very worried and helpless.” When contacted, the Army said that it would come out with a clarification soon.

AMSHEDPUR: A 50-year-old woman schoolteacher was allegedly beheaded by a youth inside the campus of a government-run school in Jharkhand’s Seraikela-Kharsawan district on Tuesday, afternoon.

The accused then ran through the village streets with the severed head while threatening panicked bystanders, before getting arrested.

The teacher, Sukru Hessa, was overseeing a physical training session of students when the accused Hari Hembram — who is in his twenties — barged into the campus of Khaparsai Middle School while screaming at her. He pushed her on the ground, dragged her to a distance and attacked her with a dagger, witnesses said.

While Hessa died on the spot, Hembram fled with the chopped head and the murder weapon. He then ran around the village with the severed head, wielding the dagger at passersby for almost four hours before being held.

“We are yet to ascertain the motive behind the murder. The accused seemed to be deranged,” said Seraikela-Kharsawan SP Chandan Kumar Sinha. Hessa and Hembram were both residents of Khapsarai village, said cops.

Departments under me have provided employment to one crore youths : Gadkari

NEW DELHI: Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday claimed that the departments under him have provided employment to one crore youths since the NDA government came to power in May 2014.

The minister, however, did not provide any data to support his claim. Speaking on the sidelines of an event to mark the 50th foundation day of WAPCOS, a public sector undertaking under the ministry of water resources, he said he was in the process of collecting data and statistics to support his claims.

His remarks came at the time when the opposition parties are attacking the Centre on the issue of employment generation and criticising PM Narendra Modi over his claim that his government had created lakhs of jobs. “What the PM has said is absolutely correct. My departments generate a lot of direct and indirect employment. One crore youths have been given employment,” he said.
