4 Major Film Media Units Merge With The NFDC

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has announced the merging of four film media entities with the National Film Development Corporation, comprising the Films Division, Directorate of Film Festivals, National Film Archive of India, and Children's Film Society of India. The decision is consistent with the expert group chaired by Bimal Julka's (2020) report on the rationalisation, closure, and merging of film media entities. The National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) is a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting that was founded in 1975 with the goal of promoting and organising an integrated development of the Indian Film Industry and fostering excellence in cinema. It is now led by Ravinder Bhakar, who also serves as the chief executive officer of the Central Board of Film Certification.


It will provide a strong impetus to the production of films of all genres, including feature films, documentaries, children's films, and animation films; film promotion through participation in various international festivals and the organisation of various domestic festivals; film preservation, digitization, and restoration of films; and distribution and outreach activities. The assets accessible with these units, however, would be owned by the Government of India. There is no definite strategy for transferring archives since celluloid (the substance used in cinematographic film) is a brittle and combustible material. If NFDC does not generate a profit, there may be a case for disinvestment. If our archives do not remain autonomous public institutions, they will undoubtedly be tampered with, damaged, or destroyed in perpetuity. 

India is the world's largest producer of films, with a private-sector-led industry that produces over 3000 films per year. In the fiscal year 2020, the film industry in India was worth approximately 183 billion Indian rupees.

This image has been taken from,  Digital-Rupee-–-Its-Understanding.jpeg The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will shortly launch restricted pilots of the e-rupee, also known as Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) or digital rupee, for specified use cases. It has hinted at two major categories for the usage of e-rupee for various transactions — retail and wholesale.  The CBDC is defined by the RBI as a digital representation of currency notes issued by a central bank. It is a sovereign or completely autonomous currency issued by the country's central bank (in this case, the RBI) in line with monetary policy. CBDC will be recognised as a means of payment and legal tender by all three parties - individuals, government agencies, and businesses - once it is formally issued. Because it is government-backed, it may be readily exchanged for money or notes from any commercial bank. The RBI is not enthusiastic about the e-rupee.

Parakram Divas: Paying homage to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his 125th Birth Anniversary. ~Preet The man of utter strength and unmatched will power who was courageous enough to decide to take on one of the strongest military power on the globe in the contemporary, head on. The man who was not afraid of death and rather moved ahead to write his own fate with his charm, merit and guts. This man is none other than Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and no wonder we celebrate the birth anniversary of this strong and influential leader as 'Parakram Divas', the day to honour and learn bravery, endurance, firmness and fearlessness.  To pay homage to him and recognise his contribution, the government recently decided to install a grand statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at India Gate.

Being Women Gets You Bail.

The image is taken from  teestaaa.jpg In a world where there is a constant cry for the propagation of the idea of equality, it seems that preferential upliftment is actually being sought to be achieved, but such a bias in the criminal justice system conflicts with its very principle of it. The Supreme Court of India recently granted Teesta Setalvad interim release, declaring that "the remedy of interim bail is given to the appellant (Teesta) in the unusual conditions, including the fact that the appellant happens to be a girl." The Chief Justice of India further referred to a bail clause in the Code of Criminal Procedure CrPC that states that "being a woman is a conceivable cause for granting release, even when it cannot be considered otherwise." Section 437 of the Criminal Procedure Code addresses bail in case of non-bailable offences. According to it, a person shall not be released on bail if there is
