With the social media ruling the roost, even the governments have felt the need to use social media as a tool to reach out to the people. Taking a giant step, the Karnataka Government is kick-starting a debate as to how effectively social media can be used by organising the All India Public Communicators Workshop in Bengaluru on December 9 and 10. The programme will be inaugurated by Union Minister for Publicity M Venkaiah Naidu on December 9 and the programme will have distinguished speakers like CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury, former Union Minister Manish Tiwari and Times of India’s US-based correspondent Chidananda Rajghatta and veteran journalist Shekar Gupta.

The workshop intends to explore the means to reach the benefits of governments schemes directly to the common man through this media and to get back the feedback on such an operation. It also aims to have an overview of the activities of other states in this arena and to evolve a national level platform through formulating a forum; All-India Information Officers Association which will help in erecting a National Grid and National Level Network of Public Communicators.
