The unprecedented development of information technology has added new dimension to the field of communication and journalism, opening new career avenues day by day. Parallely, a growing tendency is noticed among the new generation to get involved in the field of mass communication. Of late Mass communication and journalism has gained immense popularity among the youths of Assam and the neighbouring states as well. The latest trends in the field show wide prospect of employment in journalism, advertisement and other fields of mass communication for the brilliant students not only in the North-East but also across the globe. Besides the unprecedented increase in the number of newspapers, Journals and magazines from the State, a number of big business organizations have expanded their operation in the region. These recent developments have opened up new vistas of employment for mass communication students. But unfortunately, most of the youths of the region are sadly deprived of the study of such professional courses, mostly due to the dearth of state-of-the-art institute offering these courses. With a view to train up today’s youth in mass communication, noted film-maker and social activist, Late Sailadhar Baruah, with the help and co-operation of an able team of educationist, intellectuals, journalists and social activists, established the ASSAM INSTITUTE OF MASS COMMUNICATION & MEDIA RESEARCH in 2007.
