XIC 1970 - 2010

Alumni Achievement Awards
for professional excellence in media and communication

In the year 2009-2010 the Xavier Institute of Communications celebrates its fortieth year of contributing to professional education in the media. Our database tells us that no less than 3000 students have passed through our portals, students for a year (or sometimes less), but alumni for life.

From January 2009, year by year, we plan to felicitate those of our alumni who have distinguished themselves in the field by their professional excellence, by the quality of their contributions through media to society, by their creative expression in audio-visuals and print.

We expect that those nominated for the awards will have regional or national standing in their respective areas of excellence, and that their work has social and humanitarian value.

XIC will team up with a corporate sponsor to bestow two prizes for professional excellence of Rs one lakh each, with a citation and an emblem. These awards are one for the print media, and the other for audio-visuals.

By print media we include the wide field of writing, publishing, news-reporting, editorial work, graphic design and cartoons. The audio-visual media similarly has a wide umbrella: music, film (features and documentaries), television and video, radio, the internet and the new media.

The awards will be presented in the first week of January 2009 (exact date to be announced shortly) at the XIC, St Xavier's College campus.
