Speaking on the role of rural reporters, Dr Sashikanta Saikia, principal of DHS Kanoi College, Dibrugarh, said that rural reporters should enhance their skill and knowledge so that they can compete with reporters at national and international levels. Rural reporters, he said, are the eyes and ears of the rural people and hence they bear a heavy responsibility of taking all information on government schemes and policies to the rural folk.
