- Serving as a hub from which partnership and non-partnership organisations, including the mainstream media, can take content with a view for publication.
- Preserving the freedom of the Press by adjudicating the just concerns against and by the press for violation of ethics and freedom of the press.
- Maintaining high standards, we will be able to offer accreditation to media outlets and journalists of Indian origin.
- Joining hands with member organizations, help and support marketing efforts with private and public undertakings including the Governments of the US and India.
