Abstract: Over the last two decades, the Indian Media and Entertainment sector has grown tremendously. The gates got opened for the foreign market players and investors in India in 1991 by Narasimha government and since then efforts are being made to tap every possible avenue which was missing before 1991. This has brought Indian media an International recognition which in turn has not only increased consumerism in India but has also mediatized life totally. In this short essay I have tried to show briefly the journey and the changing roles of Indian media by analyzing the transitions and transformations in the Indian Media after the economic liberalization.

Sustainable Development: Some Random Thoughts PDF Print E-mail

‘Money can’t buy happiness’, gone are the days when it was believed. Today we live in the fake world of materialism where we are not ready to compromise; we are not ready to wait; we believe in satisfying our instant gratifications. Patience and endurance are the words that no more exist in our vocabulary. It is not the sympathy for the hungry poor sleeping in the cold winter nights in the footpath of the street outside our homes but the new car of the neighbor that makes us sleepless whole night. This is the world of plastic money where if the money in our wallet falls short we just need to get our card swapped. Now we don’t need to wait for the next month’s salary to come, because the credit is available everywhere.

The direct answer of this debate in relation to India is that there are no laws which serve the implications of media convergence in India but attempts has been made in last two decades to update them. But before proceeding there the first question is what does convergence of media mean? Generally spoken it means the coalescence and melting of traditionally separated communications. The coalescence and melting has two components Converging hardware means the coalescence of different media in a collective output device and converging content which means the simultaneous multiple commercialization.

Since the independence of India the prime focus of the government has been on making a frontal attack on hunger& poverty. As the major chunk of our population lives in the rural areas, government started off with many rural development schemes. On many programs were implemented such as Jawahar Rozgar Yojana (JRY) which was implemented on 1st April 1989 by merging National Rural Employment Program (NREP) and Rural Landless Employment Guarantee Program (RLEGP) & Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojana(JGSY).
