Ganderbal- The Central University of Kashmir’s Department of Convergent Journalism (DCJ) hosted an interactive session with Professor Farhat Basir Khan, a distinguished academician and media professional from Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi.
Prof Khan, renowned for his contributions at AJK Mass Communication Research Centre, Jamia Millia Islamia, and now associated with Jamia Hamdard, delivered a compelling address on modern academic trends and the evolving dynamics of teaching.
