Mangalore, January 18: 'Media Manthan', a two day national level seminar and media fiesta will be held on 20 and 21 January, 2012 at St Aloysius College, Mangalore.

Media and Environment- Leveraging Media Power to protect our Environment – is the theme of the two day event, stated a press release issued by Laxmi Shenoy, Convener, Media Manthan.

The event will offer a healthy blend of knowledge generation and display of talent by various participants and scholars. Various papers on diverse topics touching on media and environment will be presented by senior/junior lecturers, scholars and graduate/post-graduate students, it said.

The idea behind the two-day festival is to enhance the abilities of the students and give them an opportunity to exhibit their talent. Intercollegiate level competitions involving various media related themes such as Ice-breakers, RJ Hunt (Radio Jockeying), Drop Cap (News Bulletin), In-Grid (Story Board), Shutter Bug (Photography), On Air (Live Reporting) and Mobile Frames (Mobile Movie) will be conducted simultaneously, the release said.

Media-Manthan 2012 is open to students and general public and there is no registration fee.

Last year's Media Manthan was adjudged a grand success, with the theme - Media and Manipulation - touching upon the irregularities in media coverage and reporting. With speakers and veterans from various fields expressing their opinions, the two-day seminar encouraged the media professionals to be fair and unbiased in their work, the release said.

Kasaragod, June 2: As Kerala commenced fresh academic year with online classes from Monday, a ninth-standard student at Malappuram district in North Kerala ended life allegedly owing to lack of online study facilities like television connection and a smartphone at her house.

Devika, daughter of Balakrishnan, hailing from a Dalit community at Valancherry, about 25 kilometres from Malappuram town, ended her life.

Balakrishnan told the media that he could not recharge the television connection owing to financial crunches. He was working as a daily wage worker and owing to COVID-19 and lockdown, he was not having much work these days. 

The family also did not have a smartphone or computer. The family members alleged that Devika was quite upset as she could not attend the virtual class that began on Monday. She was a student of a nearby government school.

Local police said that Devika, who was the eldest among four children of Balakrishnan, was suspected to have self-immolated using kerosene at a premise close to her house on Monday evening. The cause and provocations were still being probed only. No suicide notes were recovered yet.
