Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu has urged the media to effectively function as Means of Empowerment for Development through Informed Actions of people.

Addressing the professionals of Rajya Sabha Television (RSTV), Naidu stressed on the need for a positive and constructive public discourse in the country on all major issues and reminded the media of it’s role in the same.

He said “Public discourse should not be negative, acrimonious and divisive. It should unite the people and should not seek to divide them”.

Naidu said “A nation’s forward march is impacted by the public discourse in the country. Such a discourse needs to be positive and constructive aimed at collectively addressing the challenges being faced by the nation”.

The Vice President further said “Media, as the fourth pillar of democracy has an important role in facilitating such a positive discourse. It needs to highlight the problems, deficiencies in policy and governance at various levels and present different perspectives so that people can make informed decisions. Media can be and in fact needs to be critical without, however, being motivated”.

Stating that RSTV is an institution of Parliament, Naidu said that the editorial policy and coverage of the channel should be guided by the mandate of the Parliament which is catalysing the cause of socio-economic development by addressing the contemporary and future challenges.
