Inaugurated on August 17, 1965, by the then Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Smt. Indira Gandhi, the Institute started with a small staff, including two consultants from UNESCO. In the first few years, the Institute organized training courses mainly for Central Information Service Officers and undertook research studies on a modest scale. Then, in 1969, a major international training program, the Postgraduate Diploma Course in Journalism for Developing Countries, for middle-level working journalists from Afro-Asian countries, was started. A number of specialized short courses of one week to three months’ duration were subsequently started by the Institute to meet the training needs of communication professionals working in various media/publicity outfits of the central/state governments and public sector organizations. Over the years, IIMC Delhi has expanded and now offers regular Post-graduate Diploma Courses. IIMC Delhi courses provide Journalism (English), Journalism (Hindi), Radio & Television Journalism, Advertising & Public Relations, Digital Media, Journalism (Malayalam), Journalism (Marathi), Journalism (Odia), and Journalism (Urdu).
