Though the department has produced more than 26 films from the past few years, this year has

been earmarked to produce and focus a few special projects which are theme based like

Vriksha depicting our Indian Culture and Heritage on growing and protecting local species of
trees.

A few films are currently being produced on Temple Architecture, ‘Why Conserve Nature’,
Places of Worship and National Integration. The department is also at present involved in a

special project of producing 8 short films on Swami Vivekananda’s Childhood Days for

Ramakrishna Mutt to commemorate the ‘150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda’. It has
been proposed that this film will be showcased in all schools across the country.
