Freedom of expression is a gift of the spirit of life which finds itself expressed in all modes of being. The human civilization is the quintessence of all that is valuable in the nature and the ability to express one’s thoughts and feelings is particular to man only. The media, being an epitome of that desire of unfiltered expression, echoed in Rousseau’s Cry of Liberty, is rightly called a pillar of democracy. .

The media has had a very important role in the development of human civilization and in present day post modern world, the role has become even more all pervasive. With the climatic explosion in the field of knowledge, information and entertainment- rightly called infotainment- the role of media has assumed global dimensions. Today it not only influences our knowledge, culture, thought, faith and behavior, it actually controls all these and has a grip on life itself. As a result there in ever felt need of trained media personnel all round.

Media requires youth who are not just technically sound but also socially sensitive and naturally creative. The information revolution has widened the horizon for media. Social media has expanded the traditional education system of media. Consequently demand for personnel trained in various disciplines of media has increased tremendously.

The spirit behind the establishment of this University is the need to cultivate such human resource which is capable of becoming a significant part of a responsive society. The motto of developing this University is to ensure overall enrichment of the youth of our society to become responsible agents of socio-cultural and economic, political evolution that is the true essence of a thriving human community.

Trained in the above hoary ideals, the alumni of the University are making their presence felt in the various fields of media enterprise in the national as well as international arena, because of the KTU, Raipur is rapidly gaining recognition as a centre of national level learning in media studies.
