SHILLONG: Member of Rajya Sabha, Rakesh Sinha, has stressed on the need to reduce differences and bolster diversification of ideas.
Speaking at an online launch event of his official website on Monday, the MP said leadership is multi-faceted, adding that a successful leadership can never be effective by going solo.
He said in every society there is a hierarchy of thought leadership and it is on the part of the top intellectuals to moralise the debate.
The launch programme was attended by Editor of Organiser Magazine, Praful Ketkar, Editor of The Shillong Times, Patricia Mukhim, and senior journalist, Alok Mehta.
During the online event, which was also attended by distinguished individuals from different sections of the society, discussion on ‘Democracy and Social Media’ was held.
Ketkar said that through this website, MPs will be able to bring their viewpoints in front of the society.
Mukhim, during the programme, highlighted the role of social media in overcoming the ignorance about the people and geography of North East.
Highlighting the need for newspaper owners to look into an alternate mode of revenue generation so that they do not have to depend on corporate advertisement for their survival, she said this will lead to greater freedom for journalists to work on any story.
