KPC members take oath, hold maiden meet
Srinagar: The newly elected executive and the management committee members of the Kashmir Press Club (KPC) Friday took oath of the office in presence of the election commission, two eminent lawyers and scores of journalists during a function organised at the club premises.
Soon after taking over the management committee held its maiden meeting and deliberated upon various important issues concerning the club. The committee adopted a resolution to take welfare steps for the members of the club. It was decided that a welfare fund would be created for the purpose and also a sub-committee would be setup to suggest more such welfare measures for the members, a statement issued by KPC said.
It was also decided that a separate sub-committee would be constituted to look into steps for developing the club infrastructure and create more facilities.
“The steps intended to be taken on priority basis include setting up of a fitness and health centre, a well-furnished restaurant, library and a separate lounge with workstations for the journalist members. In this regards the club solicits cooperation of the administration and concerned departments for improving the basic infrastructure in the premises,” the statement said. ”It was further decided to constitute an academic sub-committee for organising/coordinating workshops, trainings, guest lectures for the journalists both from English and vernacular media for their capacity building. The committee also decided to dedicate a separate lounge inside the club for the female journalists with an aim to promote and encourage their participation in the club activities,” the statement said.
