With the rise of alternative careers in today’s world, we see a lot of
youngsters exploring new horizons and trying their hands at new things.
Nowadays we see a lot of new comers opting for careers like designing or
dancing, which until about a decade back was considered a hobby and not a full
time career. One of the most promising career for today’s youth seems to be mass communication careers, with its risks, its demands and dynamic nature, we have
a lot of young people opting for it and the thrills and danger it brings with
it. Now, how exactly did his occupation become so popular, the answer lies in
the number of inspiring and selfless journalist and reporters out there, who
work their hearts out to bring to us pure unadulterated sensible news, one of them
is our dear fiery Barkha Dutt, let us study a little about her.
Born to an Air India Official father and a journalist mother, Barkha Dutt
had quite the perfect environment to grow. Right from her childhood she had a
sense of what danger meant or what risk meant privy to her parent’s
professions. After graduating from St. Stephens College in Delhi with an
English literature degree, she went on to pursue a Master’s degree in mass
communications from Jamia Milia Islamia. Thereafter she joined NDTV and started
her journalism career here and then rose to head its English wing. Dutt gained
prominence for her reportage of the Kargil War.
Dutt has won many national and international awards, including the Padma Shri, India's fourth
highest civilian honour for her coverage of the tsunami that lashed India in
2004. She has twice been named on
the list of 100 "Global Leaders of Tomorrow" compiled by the World
Economic Forum In 2005.
If you too aspire to be someone like her and be an inspiration for many
of your fellow citizens, give oil to your passion by joining any of the Top journalism
colleges in India and keep the fire burning!
