           Context that Required Initiation of the Practice:


           Analysis of short, silent educational and theme based films and documentaries

           The  Department  of  Mind  Management  and  Human  Values  stems  out  its  expertise  in

           production of high quality thematic short silent films of high educational, social and cultural
           value. Our aim is to create new perspectives on important social issues. We produce short

           silent films which are embellished with great values and moral takeaways. As accepted visual
           medium  is  highly  effective  in  creating  long  standing  impressions  on  the  minds  of  our

           youngsters, we use this tool to make learning long lasting.


           The electronic medium is usually considered as a distraction; but here, it is used as a teaching

           aid. The values that emerge from the film analysis act as correctives to wrong attitudes and

           notions.  Pseudo-modern  concepts  held  by  students  are  discussed  in  detail  to  help  them
           become modern in the true sense of the term.
