The following are the important functional areas for PR counseling in any typical election campaign for political candidates: 1)       The appraisal of the candidate is the first step in public relations dealing with a political campaign for the political candidate. His/Her financial background, assets, history, party, family, structure and social power – all should be carefully studied. In case of a woman candidate, the PR programmes are quite different. The appraisal gives the scope to determine the methods for the campaign. 2)       The appraisal also should indicate the candidate’s exposure to the voters. The strength of the candidate is to be decided by analysis of his/her trustworthiness, compatibility, ability, experience, administrative capability, energy, good judgment and other virtues. In the election field, there is a close contact between the candidate and the election authority like the Indian Election commission, which is the highest authority in the matters of conduc

Colors add life to dull and dry ...children love colors and nature is biggest reservoir of these beautiful and lively hues and tones. Then how come people say that they don't have color in their lives? To live is to enjoy and cherish the gifts of god. Look around yourself and you will find yourself in the world of reds, blues, greens, pinks and purples. There is no black and white! Imagine your best of pictures in black and white. You may like it for some time and might  frame it as your wall photo...but somewhere your wish would be to see the same picture in color...to check how beautiful you look in real life. Real life is a colored film with real life incidents and events!  Whenever m sad and cheerless...i surround myself with colors which help me realise that life is too short to be sad...life is on move and will fade away just at that time when you start enjoying it.  So..start living in present and enjoy each and every moment of life..without worrying what is stored in f

1)       Constant public relations efforts to maintain high level of confidence and trust of public on government. 2)       Keeping the public aware of its plans, policies, its future prospects, the quality of service and effective use of public funds and the extent of public support and co – operation needed. 3)       Reporting on progress, development and achievements quickly, correctly and timely on events, benefits, physical and financial progress.

February....the month of love, romance and passion. The soft fragrance of roses fill the air around with pure and selfless love. The weather also makes the mood worth spending time with your sweethearts, friends and family. The rough and unsophisticated phase of winters ends here marking the  beginning of adorable spring...where nature is on its full blossom...blooming hope and promise!  Colors around spread the message of peace, tranquility and harmony. What is beautiful on earth is LOVE..love in all relationships makes life worth living. Relationships are the basis of human life and are the deciding factors of successes and failures. I think the hidden motive of celebrating Valentine's week across the globe is to strengthen relationships, solve the estranged knots, get the lost one's back and rekindle the fading feelings of care and concern.  Celebrate this 'love week' with your near and dear one and make them feel special for everything they have done for you.  In

The public relations in the government is quite different from PR practice in business and non-profit organizations. Government is an organ created by the statute and formed by the public. Public is a large community, complex organism collections of a diverse group of people. They can and do have profound effect on each other. Both the groups affect and are affected by their mutual interest. The public for the government are wide and complex. It is composed of groups of doctors, lawyers, engineers, professionals, voters, political parties, opposition parties, weaker sections, labor, employees and other cross sections of society. Intimate and mutual knowledge of society’s various components is a major thrust of the government. Public vary, it is dual, complex, interlinked, so publicity and communications should be the activities of the government. There was a time when government public relations was a neglected field, only a courtesy and received no priority. Until a few years ago,

I won’t say m an ardent reader, but yes I like to read. Buying books is a hobby to me and then reading them in free time is a favorite pass time. Life is going too fast since last few months..and I haven’t got a chance to read any book and enjoy my ‘me-time’. My last read was spicy “Stary Nights” by Shobha De. To break the monotony of fast pace of life..these days m indulged in reading philosophical books on life and how to make it worth living by concentrating on simplicities of life and not getting carried away by glitters and glosses. There is a small book stall in local market near my place. It is a small roadside book stall and has restricted collection of books mostly old issues of magazines and pirated versions of famous books…selling at discounted rates. While going to the bank few days back, i gave a quick look at the stall and to my luck I found something to stop for. The books were lying in haphazard manner and one has to immerse him/her(self) in the pool of books to fi
