Two - to pioneer new forms of research in other media such as internet and outdoor. Three - to make the MRUC more inclusive for all constituents concerned."
He added that the initiation of a dialog with the NRSC to bring out one comprehensive readership survey and the close working with the MRSI to bring out a new consumer classification system are an example of this co-operation.
