The HinduGroup Publishing Pvt. Ltd. and Galgotias University have entered into a collaboration to establish The Hindu Centre for Excellence in Journalism on the university campus in Greater Noida. The initiative seeks to provide journalism and visual communication students with stronger newsroom exposure, editorial mentorship, field engagement, and practical learning opportunities.

As part of the partnership, select students of Galgotias University will gain access to internship opportunities with The Hindu’s editorial teams, collaborative publishing opportunities for visual communication projects, curated workshops, field visits, and structured interventions by media professionals. The programme will provide students access to The Hindu newspaper, digital platforms, archives, webinars, and special publications to deepen their engagement with current affairs, public discourse, and journalistic practice.

The partnership will also include quarterly physical and virtual interventions, a journalism course, and immersive field visits allowing students to observe newsroom processes, editorial workflows, and media operations closely.

The memorandum of understanding was signed by Nitin Kumar Gaur, Registrar, Galgotias University, and Sridhar Aranala, Chief Sales and Distribution Officer, The HinduGroup, on Wednesday.
