Media And Information Technology

The media including the press has come to be looked upon as the fourth pillar of the State. It has acquired the power of making and unmaking individuals and institutions, shaping and moulding views of the people, influencing course of events and of arousing and mobilizing public opinion. This power may be used for constructive as well as destructive purposes. It may be used for protecting and promoting cultural heritage, social and moral values, and private and public ethical life, for fostering unity and integrity of the country.
