Dear friends,

Over the last few years some of us in Chennai have been lobbying with the
premier journalism institute based in Chennai, Asian College of Journalism,
to admit Dalit students. They admitted 3 students in 2006-07 with full
tuition fee waiver and a scholarship; applications from Dalits were
solicited via an email that was circulated by me. This year we have managed
to get ACJ to formalise this. ACJ has announced on its website that four
Dalit students shall be admitted to its 2008 courses -- in print,
television, radio and new media -- and the selected students can avail full
fee subsidy and also a stipend to meet living expenses in Chennai during the
10-month diploma course. Please circulate this email widely and encourage
Dalit graduates and postgraduates to apply.

At the end of this email please find listed the names and email ids of the
three Dalit students who benefited by this course in 2006--07. Aspirants may
wish to contact them.

For further details, see:
