Topic : Responsibilities of Media
The entire discussion centered around the role of media and ethics of media. Media is rightly referred to as the platform for delivering information and idea to a sizeable and diversified audience. It may be through news papers, radio, television or any other source.
Media plays a very important role in socio-economic development of the country. Before 1947 it was a source of revolutionary reforms. It also leads to mass education and also fulfills the needs of intellectuals. We depend on media for factuality. It is a major source of entertainment and recreation.
Some of the measures to make our media effective and responsible are.
- Media should be free from any kind of pressure.
- Positive achievements should be highlighted.
- Some censorship on news should be laid down.
- Issues relevant to society must be highlighted
- Bring back quality programmes
- Promote communal harmony
- Uphold the unity and integrity of the country

Topic: Is there a need for Shivaji’s Memorial in the Arabian Sea ?
Every country’s culture, history, constitution is known by some famous personalities. Our country also has a rich heritage.
Maharashtra has been blessed with a heritage of saints,fearless leaders and reformers. All these great people have helped to mould and strengthen our society.
Society must carry in the good work started by our early reformers and leaders and add value to it.
Every country builds monuments and statues of their past leaders as a mark of respect, so that their good deeds are remembered and passed on to the next generation.
In the light of the above, our government has also decided to build a monument of Shivaji Maharaj in the Arabian Sea. Many of us must be wondering whether our generation values the teachings imbibed from this Great Maratha King.
The estimated cost of this big statue is almost Rs. 300 cr. Do we need to spend this much amount on this ? Are there any alternatives to remember this great person in a true way ?
Both positive and negative aspects were discussed.
Although expensive, one should not ignore the fact that the Shivaji’s memorial would make Mumbai a popular tourist centre attracting tourists all over the world.
The timing of the memorial just before the elections, the timing of the announcement of the decision to build the memorial and the populist agenda behind it came in for criticism.
Spending crores of rupees for constructing a monument was not a good idea. Instead the same amount should be diverted for some constructive work for the development of Maharashtra. More urgent issues should be tackled first. Protection of western coastline should be given priority. The pollution related problems as a result of building the memorial should not be ignored. Moreover the government should consider the CRZ rule while finalizing the location of the statue.
