I think this field must be linked to FacultyDetail model.

@dhruvhacks Is there a need of creating this model ? I think only faculties can upload the newsletters and you can find their department in the FacultyDetail table. Please let me know your thoughts over it.

Sir, while developing this feature, I created this model since every department will have multiple newsletters. Having department as an attribute within newsletters model will make redundant entries within it. A separate model will help more organised structure where all newsletters will be stored within one model linked to their respective departments.
Please tell if there is an alternative. 🙂

Please add created_by and modified_by fields.

@RishabhJain2018 uploaded_by attribute already exists in the model which will be linked to FacultyDetail model. So should I still add created_by attribute ??
Moreover, we may add created_at and modified_at attributes which may help in tracking the changes.

Sir, I revised the model and felt we must keep it separate for easy management of newsletters. While designing this model I categorized all the newsletters into their respective departments. By having a separate model for department, we can easily link all the newsletters to a common department. Making it as an attribute in one model will dissolve the categories.
This categorization can be viewed in django admin-
Below screenshot displays all the departments which lists all the newsletters of that department.
Under any department, all it's newsletters can be managed this way-
Please sir let me know your thoughts over it. I'll make the changes accordingly. 🙂

Sir, I had in mind of writing some test cases for this model but did not frame them. Will remove it for now and add this in a separate PR with test cases.
