The day is celebrated to commemorate a free and responsible press. It was on this day that the Press Council of India started functioning as a moral watchdog to ensure that the press maintains high standards and is not fettered by any influence or threats.
“Let us celebrate the occasion of National Press Day by thanking all the press professionals for doing their job and serving us with the latest happenings around the world. If there is not a responsible and dutiful press in a nation, the nation cannot progress and prosper,” said Sandeep Marwah President of ICMEI wishing all the faculties and students of AAFT School of Journalism and Mass Communication a very Happy National Press Day.
A poster was launched by Sandeep Marwah on this occasion and everyone expressed their views on free press in a simple function at Noida Film City.
