What is developmental communication and does this new stream have any scope in landing a foreign job? If yes, how should one go about it?

Hi Divyanshu! Development communication refers to the use of communication to facilitate social development. Development communication techniques include information dissemination and education, behavior change, social marketing, social mobilization, media advocacy, communication for social change and community participation. Most of the University Departments offering a Post-Graduate or Under-Graduate programme in Mass Communication and Journalism generally have Development Communication as one of their main subjects. Some Universities, Colleges and Media Institutions also offer specialisation in Development Communication. Anwar Jamal Kidwai Mass Communication Research Centre (AJK-MCRC) of Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi offers a unique one year Post-Graduate Diploma programme in Development Communication which familiarizes the students about various concurrent development initiatives taking place at Global and Domestic level. The Department of Mass Communication and Journalism of Guru Jambheswar University has recently started a Masters programme in Development Communication.
