Chitkara Institute of Mass Communication is also working on making its presence felt online. Gitanjali Kalia shares, "We are working a soon-to-be-launched portal that will have all the information on what's happening in the city and the educational institutes." PU based NGO Youth United's www.youthunited.in helps the local members spread their message across the world. "It has not only made us international, but has also helped us become dynamic," Jyotindra Nath, president of the NGO remarks. Each member is trained for the compulsory we activities. Segregated into official and public sections, the website has features like blogs, event details and projects, social networking, 'classifinds', gaming and picture zones et al.
"Creating a website is quite easy, but the real thing is to maintain it and make it grow," Anmol muses. "Many department websites have become redundant since they are not updated regularly or at all. It requires a lot of hard work and focus on the part of members to keep the wheel of innovation moving." You heard him!
