Itanagar, Feb 7:  Public Relations Conclave 2020-‘Honing Communication Skills of PR Persons’ was inaugurated today by Minister Agriculture, Horticulture etc  Tage Taki in presence of RGU VC Saket Kushwaha, IPR Secretary Himanshu Gupta, distinguished guests, officers of the IPR department and students from various universities.
Taki while stressing on the importance of communication said that as IPR department is the ear and mouth of the government, it should double its efforts to disseminate information of all government programmes. He also added that task of the department will be complete only when public feedback/queries are received about the governmental programmes and schemes. “The success of any welfare programme is directly proportional to the quantum of public awareness about the scheme,” he said while exhorting the officers to arm themselves with information about government policies and programmes to create maximum awareness. 
RGU VC called the task of the IPR department in disseminating news a very difficult one as officers have to maintain a balance of news from sources.  Quoting Bill Gates who said, “If I was down to my last dollar, I'd spend it on Public Relations,” Regional Director, IIMC  L. R. Sailo emphasised on the importance of Public Relations and the need to improve and enhance the capacity of PR officers.
Later in the day, IPR departments of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Assam discussed the publicity models adopted by them and the structure of their organisations. A talk on ‘Personality Development for PR Practitioners’ was delivered by Col. Talum Dubi. DIPRO
