MHRD and MESC organized MANTHAN in Mumbai to integrate Media & Entertainment industry skills into degree education

Mumbai, October 19, 2019: Media and Entertainment Skills Council (MESC) with support from the
Ministry of Human Resources and Development (MHRD), Government of India organized “Manthan” –
Impeccable Academia at Whistling Woods International, Mumbai today.
This platform was for the dignitaries to connect, exchange ideas and build relations for career
opportunities for the coming generations. Manthan was inaugurated by the Chief Guest, Shri Subhash
Ghai, Renowned Filmmaker, Educationist and Chairman-MESC along with Mr. Subba Rao, Sr. Economic
Advisor, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India. Mr. Amit Behl, Indian Television and Film Actor and Sec.General
CINTAA; Mr. Wiz Sabbas Joseph, Secretary - MESC; Mr. Chaitanya Chinchlikar, VP of Whistling Woods
International; Mr. Ramesh Anumukonda, Unity Education and Centre of Excellence Initiatives: Asia
Pacific (APAC) at unity Technologies; and Mr. Mohit Soni, CEO, MESC . The event brought together
academicians, media and the entertainment industry.
MANTHAN is focused on a plethora of opportunities available in the Media and Entertainment Industry.
It’s highlighting the possibilities of Association between Media and Entertainment Skills Council (MESC)
and participating esteemed Academic Institutions, colleges & universities. The Ministry of Human
Resource & Development along with MESC has developed specialized employment oriented Bachelor
Courses as: BSc. Animation & VFX, BSc. Performing Arts and B.Sc. Film Making.
The Universities concerned are empowered to take up these courses through their colleges,
autonomous colleges are readily empowered and other colleges can take up these courses with their
University approval.11 Colleges/ Universities, signed the MoU with MESC for making the specialized
courses for the students.
Sharing his views, Mr. Subba Rao, Senior Economic Advisor, MHRD, Government of India, said, “With
great anticipation and hope we have started this initiative of merging the two huge segments Media &
Entertainment and Human Resource Development to garner unexplored possibilities and opportunities
for the sector. The introduction of relevant courses and developing the right skillset will provide
students with complete in-depth knowledge in their chosen trades and make them industry ready. This
would help in addressing the gap between education and economy with the industry growing at an
autonomous rate.”
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Subhash Ghai, Renowned Filmmaker, Educationist and Chairman-MESC,
said, “We have been tirelessly working together to develop and innovate young creative minds through
Manthan. India has the potential to be more than a job doer country. There’s a huge level of
unemployment prevalent currently, youngsters with degrees are sitting idle. Here’s where initiatives of
MESC comes in to develop the current system and to rethink the process to develop the required.
Through Manthan we will be able to focus on human, skill, creative and innovation development to
make our future generations’ go-getters, explorers and believers. “
Addressing the delegates, Mr. Mohit Soni, CEO-MESC, said, “Media & Entertainment Industry is growing
at an exponential rate but at the same time it is grappling with many Skill Development Challenges
including a huge supply-demand gap both in terms of quality and quantity of workforce. Our focus is to
create entrepreneurs, who in turn will create jobs bridging the existing job gap in this fastest growing
industry. Through this event and the encouraging words and presence from the industry, we are hoping
to have many more Manthan sessions.”
In his address Mr. Chaitanya Chinchlikar, Vice President - Whistling Woods International said, “
Education in India is dual, under the MHRD & under specialized ministries, almost all universities have
set up a formal institutionalized educational structures. However, the same has been missing for the
Media & Entertainment Industry. There is no multi-level structure (undergraduate/ post-graduate/
doctoral, etc.) that has been set up as the standard or the norm for M&E education in India. This has left
no scope for private institutions to set up specialized institutes to cater to these needs of the industry.
Hence, Film, Media and Creative Arts education has never been mainstreamed in India. Consequently, it
has led to a global unprecedented situation, that a country which is a strong global force in a particular
industry is not a global force in terms of the education in that same field.”
Mr Aamir, Head of Operations, Red Chillies Entertainment said, “Today, the industry is looking forward
to making quality outputs which were much higher as compared to what it was 20 years ago, and that
too in lesser time. This has opened up other avenues, where Hollywood studios have started distributing
their work all over the world, making it possible to get the job done faster by sharing it with other
studios. In India, Redchillies was one of the studios that started to distribute work within the country
with other partner studios. The key challenge faced by the industry today is that the same work needs to
be done in better quality and shorter time, which requires a talent pool that is ready to do the job.”

We have reserved one berth for it, I have already put a second berth for this purpose, we may need to put a third berth, from this season onwards, on a particular day I may have 4 crore ships together, like Miami. With five ports joined, this will be a new business coming in.”

He added, “International Cruise terminal like airport will be completed by June 2020. The domestic one we have already completed. We had launch the Mumbai to Goa Cruise ship then. One kilometer water front which we are developing right now will be completed by next two months. The bigger projects like 11 kilometer water front and all, it is at the conceptual and planning stage.”

Speaking on the INMEX SMM India Show 2019, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, for Informa Markets in India said, “As the world's population continues to grow, low-cost and efficient maritime transport has an essential role to play in growth and sustainable development of the country.  The Indian shipping industry plays a vital role in sustaining growth in the country’s trade and commerce. On an average, 95 per cent of India's trading by volume and 70 per cent by value is done through maritime transport. With  India being the sixteenth largest maritime country in the world, with a coastline of about 7,517 km, we believe this sector has a huge potential to be one of the major engines bringing in a Maritime Revolution. Backed by immense reach and expertise in the Indian market, Informa Markets in India and  Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH are proud to have the shipping and maritime sector in the comprehensive list of industries we cater to.”

“The Centre has  also conferred infrastructure status to shipyards a couple of years ago and launched a slew of initiatives like the comprehensive Sagarmala project, the Major Ports Bill that will provide greater autonomy to Port Boards, the Maritime Agenda 2020 that looks to expanding India's port capacity to 3,130 MT and the environmentally conducive 'Project Green Ports'. These will no doubt fast track and sustain growth in the Shipping and Maritime domain.” he further added.

INMEX SMM 2019 comes at an important juncture when the Maritime and Shipping Industry is getting ready to project massive progress owing to several upcoming projects, and with the Government taking measures to improve operational efficiency. Under the National Perspective Plan for Sagarmala, 6 new mega ports will be developed alongside a complete overhaul of the existing 12 and 200 non-major ports in the country through the length of its 7,500 kilometres coastline. During FY18, cargo traffic at major ports in the country was reported at

679.36 million tonnes (MT), showing a growth of 4.77 per cent over the same period last year. In FY19 (up to August 2018) traffic increased 5.13 per cent year-on-year to 288.38 million tonnes. Since ports handle almost 95 per cent of trade volumes in India, the rising trade has contributed significantly to the country's cargo traffic.

The industry also acts as a primary means of international transport of essential commodities, the sector is extremely lucrative for international players. Besides, the Indian government is allowing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of up to 100 per cent under the automatic route for port and harbour construction and maintenance projects. It has also facilitated a 10-year tax holiday to enterprises that develop, maintain and operate ports, inland waterways and inland ports.
