The representative of the Delhi School of Journalism, doctor Manasvini Yogi, remarked:
"I think this masterclass was very interesting and very informal that is one plus point, and the students could ask anything they wanted. Though my students are from first and second year they are basically amateurs the are just probing into the field of journalism and trying to learn as much as they can for that some questions were simple and very naïve but this kind of discussion and masterclass you know help them to gain and will help to gain confidence as well they will be no more shy to ask anything. So it was very fruitful and I think the relationship of Delhi school of Journalism with Sputnik will continue and go a long way".
