RONO HILLS, 18 Oct: A national webinar themed ‘Issues and challenges of national security in India’s Northeast’ was organized by Rajiv Gandhi University’s (RGU) national security studies department and Institute of Distance Education on Monday.

In his inaugural address, RGU Vice Chancellor Prof Saket Khuswaha said, “National security is not the sole responsibility of the armed forces; it is something which has to be a combined effort of each and every citizen of the nation.”

He also said that the media have a crucial role to play in this regard.

“The images they project in their news channels also have to be carefully thought of, such that a proper narrative of positivity and brotherhood is inculcated amongst the citizens of the nation,” he added.
