A unique initiative, the console can be used for making the public aware of the Governor’s next event and also to educate the people about the protocols that should be followed and the security concerns they need to fulfil. The event organisers may merely upload their brochure or flyer to the required field and the authorised personnel from the Governor’s office may approve this if all criteria have been met.

According to Mr. Shahir Esmail, this is the first time that a Government-approved Diploma course has been launched in the country with comprehensive and self-learning study material. "The course has been designed after thorough market analysis and with conviction of its possibilities from years of experience in the Digital Marketing field," he said.
