FTII To get 80 Crore from I&B Ministry

Post by admin »

Check this report in theIndian Express.
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has given the green signal for a Rs 80-crore grant to the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). Final approval was granted at the Governing Council (GC) meeting on Thursday, FTII sources said. Approval comes after almost a yearlong delay in getting sanctions from various ministries involved, they added.

DJ Narain, Director, FTII, said, "Rs 43 crore will be used for construction, while Rs 37 crore will be used for buying new equipment. At the GC we discussed the need for new buildings, as well as revamping existing structures. Chairman of the GC, Saeed Mirza, gave his nod for the purchase of high-end equipment which will benefit students."
I wonder where will they be building the new buildings. I seriously hope not the Shantaram Jungle area.
