Sanju Samson Felicitated By Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan After T20 WC Win

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan honoured India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson, who played a pivotal role in Indias triumphant campaign at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup earlier this month. Vijayan hosted the World Cup champion at his official residence, Cliff House, on Monday (March 16), to acknowledge his achievements. The 31-year-old Samson came dressed in traditional attire for the ceremony, during which Vijayan handed him a commemorative memento bearing the message, We salute Sanju Viswanath Samson. The keepsake also highlighted his crucial contributions during the tournaments knockout phase, including a 97 off 50 balls against the West Indies in the Super 8 stage, an 89 off 42 in the semifinal against England, and another 89 off 46 in the final versus New Zealand. Sharing the moment on X, Vijayan wrote, Had the pleasure of hosting India's pride and Kerala's own, Sanju Samson, at Cliff House yesterday. Conveyed the profound love and joy of the people of Kerala. May he draw strength from his recent achievements and continue to scale new heights. Wishing him the very best! Samsons journey in the tournament was not without challenges. He had initially been left out of Indias playing XI for their opening match, with the team management opting for Ishan Kishan as the wicketkeeper alongside opener Abhishek Sharma. His place in the squad had also come under scrutiny after he managed only 46 runs across five matches in a home T20I series against New Zealand ahead of the global event. Despite the early doubts, Samson turned the narrative around with a string of match-winning performances, emerging as one of the standout players in Indias successful campaign. Following the celebrations, the Kerala batter has now turned his attention to the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League, where Samson will make his debut with Chennai Super Kings, five-time champions of the tournament. Despite the early doubts, Samson turned the narrative around with a string of match-winning performances, emerging as one of the standout players in Indias successful campaign.

So this International Conference served as a vibrant interdisciplinary platform for academics, researchers, practitioners and students to share insights and engage in critical deliberation on the transformative dynamics of new media ecologies and their implications for democracy, culture, education, migration and social inclusion .”   Participating in the Conference, renowned media experts said AI and other emerging technologies are transforming media in the Digital Age, but human touch still remains the key for the real stories of the real people and good journalism.    In his address during the valedictory function, Chief Guest Rabindra Narayan, MD and President, GTC Network , said, “ The AI is as good as the person giving it the prompt. As AI helps us do things better and faster, our dependence on others is reducing. But we should keep learning and applying out mind to what AI is doing for us. This way we will also learn. With the advent of AI and free flow of knowledge, if inequalities can go from the society, education can become common for all, the education tools become affordable for all, we can make the world better using those new tools and technologies. We may cure diseases, we may have lesser misery, inequalities, we may have better policies. ”   On New Media in digital age, Narayan said, “ Media remains media. Today you are calling AI new media but it's old media already. We don't know where we are going but it's a very very exciting prospect. Wherever we are going, it's a new world and the new world is always exciting. But never give up the basic tools. Real stories are in real places with real people, you must go to real places, real people, find real stories, tell real stories because only real stories survive. Do what you feel right. Never be afraid to fail. Only the failure will teach you the success. And there is no learning without actually going to the ground, burning your boots, talking to real people, learning first hand. ”   Earlier in his key note address during the inauguration of the ‘CommuniGate 2026’ , veteran journalist and IHC director Prof (Dr) KG Suresh highlighted the rapid transformation of journalism due to the rise of new media, social platforms and artificial intelligence. He said while traditional roles in journalism are evolving, the spread of misinformation remains a major concern. He emphasised the need for technological competence, ethical practices, and human-interest-driven reporting in modern journalism.   Mimansa Malik, veteran TV anchor said, “ The phone in our hand holds more power today than any news channel did 30 years ago. But how are we using that power? . The responsibility that comes with digital media, young journalists should balance representation with ideological awareness ,”. She also highlighted the importance of ethical citizen journalism, engaging storytelling and the responsible use of AI for fact-checking. “ Understanding algorithms, leveraging digital platforms for social change, and maintaining originality are key to content creation in this digital age ,” Malik added.   Dr Nitin Kumar, Deputy Director (Research), ICSSR , stressed the importance of ethical practices, responsible usage, and regulation of digital platforms. He said challenges of new media require a collaborative relationship between technology, media, and society, along with proactive participation from policymakers. “ The focus should shift from how technology is transforming communication” to how communication is transforming democracy, ” Dr Kumar added.   Chandigarh University Chandigarh University is a NAAC A+ Grade University and QS World Ranked University.
