Key Decisions Taken:
Medical Assistance: The Trust reviewed its past initiatives and the current requests received from alumni. It was resolved that the IIMCAA Care Fund will continue to provide financial assistance of INR 20,000 to alumni for emergency medical needs, on a case‑by‑case basis, subject to verification of the requisite documents.
In addition, the Trust will extend support by facilitating crowdfunding campaigns to help alumni meet their required medical expenses.
AI Upskilling Initiative: Considering the ongoing technological transformation in the mass communication sector, particularly the growing role of Artificial Intelligence, the Trust will introduce AI Training Classes for alumni.
* The programme will follow a co-pay model: a portion of the fee will be borne by the alumnus, while the remaining amount will be covered by the Trust.
* Seats will be limited, with priority given to IIMCAA members.
* Further details, including schedules and enrollment procedures, will be announced shortly.
Renaming of Fund on IIMCAA Website: On the IIMCAA website, the ‘IIMCAA Medical Assistance Fund’ will henceforth be referred to as the ‘IIMCAA Care Fund’.
