Ente Vartha offers a podium for citizen journalists to file investigative reports or news stories on issues of topical interest which may be on corruption in pubic places, unsolved crime, social issues, human interest violations etc.
By encouraging ordinary citizens who are not professionally trained journalists to bring to public notice moral, ethical & human rights issues in their immediate neighborhood, Ente Vartha transforms helpless witnesses to proactive citizens capable of effectively righting wrongs.
The novel concept of citizen journalists first introduced into the Kerala consiousness by Amrita TV’s ‘Best Citizen Journalist’ has been popularized by Ente Vartha .
Ente Vartha has been witnessing a steady stream of citizens from unemployed youth to elite professionals such as advocates, engineers, teachers even government officials ranging in age from as young as 20 to as old as 65, eager for a chance to file their story.
The reports of the untrained scribes, however raw or unprofessional have had the desired effect more often than not. Necessary action has been taken to solve the issue by the concerned authorities in 80% of the reports that have been filed in the episodes of Ente Vartha.
