HinduGroup Publishing Pvt. Ltd. and Galgotias University have partnered to establish a Hindu Center of Excellence in Journalism at the university’s campus in Greater Noida. The initiative seeks to provide journalism and visual communication students with stronger newsroom exposure, editorial mentorship, field engagement and hands-on learning opportunities.

As part of the partnership, selected Galgotias University students will gain access to internship opportunities with The Hind editorial teams, collaborative publishing opportunities for visual communication projects, curatorial workshops, field visits and structured interventions by media professionals. The program will provide students with access to Hindu newspapers, digital platforms, archives, webinars and special publications to deepen their engagement with current affairs, public discourse and journalistic practice.

The partnership will also include quarterly physical and virtual interventions, a journalism course, and immersive field visits that will allow students to observe newsroom processes, editorial workflows, and media operations up close.

The MoU was signed on Wednesday by Nitin Kumar Gaur, Registrar, Galgotias University, and Sridhar Aranala, Director, Sales & Distribution, The HinduGroup. Present on the occasion were K. Mallikharjuna Babu, Vice-Chancellor, Galgotias University; Neha Jindal, Dean, School of Media and Communications Studies, Galgotias University; Tasha Singh Parihar, Associate Dean, School of Media and Communication Studies; Ujjwal Pratap, Director of Strategic Communications and Public Relations, Galgotias University; Anurag Pandey, Assistant Professor, School of Media and Communication Studies; and Sunil Mirza, General Manager, Sales & Distribution, The Hindu Group.
