AHMEDABAD: Mudra Institute of Communication, Ahmedabad will soon tie-up with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government-backed Dubai Media City (DMC) to set up a state-of-the-art communications and media centre at Dubai. It will be one of the many institutions that DMC is planning to collaborate with from around the world.

The proposal is still in its infancy and institute director was working out the modalities with DMC officials who were on the campus on Monday. Tandan said MICA and DMC can join hands for mutually strengthening the communications and media environment.


DMC is part of several UAE government-promoted centres like the Dubai Internet City (DIC) and venture capital incubation centres that fall in the Dubai free trade zone. Equipped with the infrastructure, these centres are looking for private initiatives for manpower as well as investment from countries like Lebanon, Egypt, South Africa, and India.


According to Tandan, MICA's strong links with the industry can promote DMC among Indian communication companies. The possibility of exchange programmes between faculty and students is also being discussed between the two institutions.


The partnership proposal also says MICA could offer an integrated marketing communication programme for students from other countries from where DMC plans to source its talent. Executives from DMC could participate in several professional development programmes and short term courses organised at the institute.


Earlier, project manager with DMC Arif Mubarak Hamid made a presentation to the students about the DMC and the Ibdaa awards.
