Chetana, the media ministry network of CMI Devamatha Province is conceived as a communication spectrum comprising of seven spheres of life, art and culture. CHETANA-Communication to Hasten Educational, Technological, Artistic and National Advancement - is the realisation of the long cherished dream of our province to make use of the power of media to disseminate the Gospel values in the modern world. A plot of 2.5 acres of land was acquired at Chiyyaram in 1977 to launch the Chetana studio complex. The pioneering efforts of Fr. Issac Alappat were blessed when H. H. Pope John Paul II declared Chetana open on February 7, 1986.
At present Chetana functions in four main different centres in and around Thrissur town, blending art, music, dance, cinema, audiography and communication research and training, opening up new horizons for the young minds.
