Mass Communication department of Lahore College For Women
University, Lahore, the development of this department and its
expansion has seen a rapid growth during the last few years. She was

provide a wide range of facilities for the exposure of media students
that they can experience professionalism and polish their skills to
secure the name of their university in the mainstream media fields

she sought help of engineers and technicians to develop a full
fledged equipped department having TV studio for the production of
documentaries and projects of senior students to impart them the
knowledge of technicalities to use the professional equipment. A
radio station, FM 96.6 voice of LCWU, was established in 2009. since
than the radio station is serving the students to get themselves
aware of production and broadcasting of programs and news on radio.
It has a radio broadcasting room, where the live transmission of
