'Pratyaksh' provides a formal three-month training in sting operations with the help of hidden cameras. The institute aims at producing daring reporters, tough interviewers and charismatic presenters. The reason behind such a rigorous training is that in a cut-throat competitive world, only the best and the fittest can survive.
Says Manoj Raghuvanshi, Director, Pratyaksh, "The traditional guru-shishya bond at Pratyaksh forms the foundation of the institute. We believe that if you’re taught by the best, you learn the best. Hence, each media don here will share his guru mantras with the students. They will specialise in the art of exposing in order to become the Black Cat Commandos of the Indian television industry."
Pratyaksh also provides regular one-month courses in television anchoring, news reading, radio jockeying, voicing and effective speaking for students, business ¦ men and professionals. "The students are being trained here to become black cat commandos of the Indian television industry - specialising in the art of expose," adds Raghuvanshi. |
