up some of the most pertinent themes like education, environment, health, gender and children to be
showcased.
We received very high nos. of entries from all the corners of our country, which by itself an overwhelming

I must thank all my fellow jury members, who very painstakingly viewed all the films and rated them on
the three important parameters i.e. Relevance to the theme, Composition (Music, Editing, Cinematography
etc.) and overall impact of the film. After a very rigorous deliberation, we are proud to present
