The Greater Noida Development Industrial Authority (GNIDA) has signed a formal agreement with Bennett University opening doors for Times School of Media (TSOM) students to visit GNIDA projects and sites and create content like professional journalists.
Ms Prerna Sharma , A dditional Chief Executive Officer, GNIDA , and Prof Prabhu Aggarwal, Vice Chancellor, Bennett University, exchanged a copy of the agreement at a ceremony held in the campus on Friday afternoon.
Talking about the MoU, Prof Sunil Saxena, HoD, TSOM, said, “This will take the classroom outdoors and the students will learn by doing and working on actual live projects.”
The exchange ceremony was preceded by a press conference with Ms Sharma and MrSalil Yadav , General Manager (Projects) of GNIDA, for the media students where the two officials discussed a slew of development projects that GNIDA was planning to undertake. These included the extension of Aqua Metro line to Greater Noida extension, attracting big investors to set up factories in Greater Noida, and setting up more pink toilets. “There are issues we need to address such as rehabilitation of street vendors but the approach I prefer is when people come up with solutions to the problems,” Ms Sharma said.
The GNIDA officials also spoke about the launch of several new initiatives such as a jute bag vending project outside housing societies to reduce the use of plastic bags, a “Bartan Bank” that will lend steel utensils for use by residents for various functions and setting up of vibrant spaces for street vendors. Besides this, the Authority is also planning to revitalise 150 village ponds in Greater Noida.
