JOYEETA CHOWDHURY, Journalism and Mass Communication Hons(2018-2021)
Currently a Fellow Cohort (JSW Foundation)
It has been a privilege for me to secure a chance to initiate my educational journey from Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, Ramakrishna Sarada Mission Vivekananda Vidyabhavan. My life has taken a complete turn to visualise new innovative dreams and make my life more goal orientated. With the support of my faculties and institutions my entire journey became simpler. My faculties were supportive at every point so that I can drive my car in a risk-free manner. My learning about development communication and other aspects has levelled up my confidence to take productive step in my life.
I have joined JSW Foundation as a fellow cohort and will cooperatively work with the CSR team of the organisation for rural development. This would not have been possible without the initial support and guidance provided by my faculties and institution during my undergraduate days in this department and college.
Saswati Biswas, Journalism and Mass Communication (2019-2022)
Currently pursuing M.A in Journalism, Calcutta University
Being an alumna of Ramakrishna Sarada Mission Vivekananda Vidyabhavan (2019-2022), I had the privilege of studying Journalism and Mass Communication at our college and I can’t express enough how impactful and inspiring the professors in the JMC department have been not only on my academic journey but also on our lives. Their dedication to teaching, their extraordinary perception of the world and their passion for this field are truly remarkable. Each professor brings a unique perspective and expertise to the classroom, making the learning experience diverse and engaging. They fostered an environment where creativity and critical thinking were encouraged, allowing us to develop as well-rounded future journalists. And what I think I must need to mention here is the immense amount of help we got from our teachers during the Covid 19 lockdown. I can’t express enough gratitude for how the teachers in the Journalism and Mass Communication department stepped up during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Despite the challenges, they adapted swiftly to online teaching, ensuring we continued to
receive quality education. They shared all the study materials and encouraged us to stay strong during the tough times. Their dedication to our learning, constant support, and innovative approaches truly made a difference in our academic journey during these tough times. The most precious thing about our teachers is that they not only imparted knowledge necessary for the field but also guided us to be a better person every day. Their mentorship has also inspired a lifelong love for journalism. Those three years have been the best days of our lives to date. Our department slowly became our second home. Our teachers made us feel confident and encouraged us not only to study but also to participate in extracurricular activities. I remember the Toychathon 2021 was a whole new experience for all of us and that was only possible for our respected teachers. We consider ourselves lucky enough to be a part of our department. Though we will never be able to sit in the classroom with all our classmates and attend classes, this JMC Department and every person related to this place will remain a part of our lives which we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Their expertise has been instrumental in shaping my journey. Currently, I am thriving as a freelance graphic designer, applying the skills and insights I gained. The practical lessons and support from my academic journey continue to play a crucial role in my success. I owe a special thanks to my exceptional teachers, whose mentorship has been a constant source of inspiration, driving me to excel in my chosen field.

Policy for Advanced and Slow Learners
Dept of Journalism and Mass Communication
Advanced and slow Learners
Advanced learners are the student s who understand a taught topic relatively faster than the other students in the class and attain high scores. They have more potential and talent then the others in the class.
Slow learners on the other hand mostly lag behind in their academic pursuit and find it difficult to understand the subject. The poor performance may not be sign of the poor capacity or talent but may be due to inappropriate teaching methods. Socio-economic background, lack of motivations and support , unorganized learning practices or even the inability to converse in devised medium.
Preamble
The primary goal of creation of this policy is to assess the learning capacity of the students and provide them guidance accordingly. Specific objectives are enlisted as under :
