EMRC St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata is part of a large family of EMRCs spread across India. This family has in fact 18 members, including the head office at New Delhi. The other members are at Srinagar, Roorkee, Patiala, Jodhpur, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Indore, Sagar, Imphal, Pune, Mysore, Chennai, Madurai, Calicut and two at Hyderabad.

All the centres come under the purview of the university of that particular place. In Hyderabad one is with the Central Institute for English and Foreign Languages (CIEFL) and the other is with Osmania University. It is only the Kolkata EMRC that comes under the purview of St. Xavier’s college.

All funding – both for running expenses and equipment – comes from the University Grants Commission. The coordination of production, telecast and other programme related affairs is done by the Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC), New Delhi. The administration is done by the host university/college.


Welcome to the home page of EMRC. In the galaxy of websites, you have selected ours and have visited us because you would like to know something about education and television. We hope you will return enriched and will come back again for more.

With a production experience of 19 years, 1200 programmes in English, Bengali and Hindi, 52 National Awards and the Best National Centre award from 1997 to 2004 we can humbly say that we have arrived. Yes, we have arrived, only to proceed further to seek further shores of service and education to the millions of Indian rural population. We are encouraged, not because we see the road ahead of us but we can see the path we have covered. It has been a difficult and challenging path but we have traversed it unscathed.
