Who Do You Want to Contact? One of our aims in floating this web site is to provide a one-stop resource for a variety of people who might want India information and pointers on whom to meet for different jobs. The kind of people we would like to help would include people from the democratic countries who would like to do business with India, researchers who might wish to find out more about India, journalists looking for names and addresses and charities who might wish to find target groups. For each of these and other categories, we have selected a contact person who would try to help you with your queries and point you in the right direction.  Media: For information about newspapers, magazines and television channels contact Paranjoy Guhathakurta, mediaperson and director of the School of Convergence, New Delhi, at paranjoy@icfdc.com. You could also contact the government's Press Information Bureau also based in New Delhi.
 Academia: To get in touch with academics in New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) email Prof Nirmala Joshi at pnjoshi@jnu.org.
