 From this approval made by NSDC, FTII gets the status of “training provider in the media and entertainment sector” that provides the students training in many field such as story-boarding, set carpentry, painting, camera operation, sound assistant, assistant cameraman, script writing, etc.

The courses will be established in four cities namely Pune, Guwahati, Jaipur and Visakhapatnam. The administration plans to start three courses that are editing, character design immediately and other courses will be started later.

Bhupendra Kainthola said the institute’s governing council had approved Skill India in Film and Television initiative in November 2016. The proposal was then moved to the NSDC and funding for the courses was desired in order to make the courses affordable. The FILM and Television Institute of India made presentations before NSDC in New Delhi and Pune, before the final approval came on July 21, 2017.

“This is a major boost to FTII’s plans to take short courses to smaller towns and cities. The funding under the PMKVY will further help lower course fees,” said Kainthola. FTII has already started short courses in digital cinematography, acting, film appreciation and screenplay writing in various cities, including Pune, Mumbai, New Delhi and Port Blair.
