To enable the use of Media as a force multiplier, a need was felt by the Army to lay down a comrehensive media policy. In order to achieve this and to direct the combined efforts. of Army and the Media towards a better understanding of each others' perspective, short courses for Army Officers at different levels of seniority and command were started by the Institute.
The Institute conducts four short courses of two weeks duration for officers with the objective of enabling the officers to understand the principles and application of mass communication and direct the combined effort of Army and Media in support of operational plans and use media as a force multiplier.
The Institute has been organizing courses for officers drawn from the services since 1989 but from 1996 onwards the frequency of this course was increased, keeping n view the changing perceptions and needs of the officers. Nearly 594 officers of the Armed Forcs of varying seniority have already attended courses at this Institute and we are now on the threshold of examining the need for starting a Post Graduate Diploma/Degree Course in Mass Communication for officers from the forces.
