    DEPARTMENT OF EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES M. S. RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY At MSRIT we believe in the holistic development of students in a way that they evolve into full-fledged and confident professionals by the time they graduate. This can be made possible by encouraging them to engage in various extra-curricular activities such as music, theatre, literary, visual and fine arts, apart from sports, NSS and other similar pursuits. Extra-curricular activities are not just about entertainment, they help molding the personality of the students in the following ways: • Enhancing soft skills such as communication skills, etiquette and confidence levels. • Helping them in the areas of time management, emotion management, success (and failure) management, crisis management and more importantly people management. • While good grades equip students to get their first jobs, extra-curricular activities equip students with skills for their whole lives. • They help inculcating in students, values such as empathy, broad-mindedness, team- spirit, self-control, ethics, acceptance of pluralities in society, corporate social responsibility, and so on. MSRIT is the only college to have a separate department for cultural activities, known as the Department of Extra-Curricular Activities (DECA). Following is the committee of faculty responsible for all the activities of the department.

  • Cinematic Modernity Cosmopolitan Imaginaries in Twentieth Century Iran
    Cinematic Modernity Cosmopolitan Imaginaries in Twentieth Century Iran by Golbarg Rekabtalaei A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto © Copyright by Golbarg Rekabtalaei 2015 Cinematic Modernity Cosmopolitan Imaginaries in Twentieth Century Iran Golbarg Rekabtalaei Doctor of Philosophy Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Cinematic Modernity explores the ―genesis amnesia‖ that informs the conventional scholarly accounts of Iranian cinema history. Critiquing a ―homogeneous historical time,‖ this dissertation investigates cinematic temporality autonomous from (and in relation to) political and social temporalities in modern Iran. Grounding the emergence of cinema in Iran within a previously neglected cosmopolitan urban social formation, it demonstrates how the intermingling of diverse Russian, Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, French and British communities in interwar Tehran, facilitated the formation of a cosmopolitan cinematic culture in the early twentieth century. In the 1930s, such globally-informed and aspiring citizens took part in the making of a cinema that was simultaneously cosmopolitan and Persian-national, i.e. cosmo-national. This dissertation explains how in the late 1940s, after a decade long hiatus in Iranian feature-film productions—when cinemas were dominated by Russian, British, and German films—Iranian filmmakers and critics actualised their aspirations for a sovereign national cinema in the form a sustained commercial industry; this cinema staged the moral compromises of everyday life and negotiation of conflicting allegiances to families and social networks in a rapidly changing Iran—albeit in entertaining forms. While critiqued for ―imitating‖ European commercial films, this cinema—known as ―Film-Farsi‖ (Persian-Language)–was highly ii informed by lived experiences of Iranians and international commercial motion pictures.

The point that informs the inquiry is the way the film departs and differs from the play in relation to the issue of women within the patriarchal society. The play and the film will be examined separately in detail, while their similarities and differences will be also accounted for. By going through the structure of the play, in particular, by showing attention to the importance of the Christopher Sly Induction which frames the narrative of the play, as well as surveying the critical looks on the play throughout the last century, it will be argued that the Bard’s work, far from being an anti- feminine play that reflected the male authority of the society of its time, allows for new possibilities for the autonomy of women within the patriarchal system. The Persian adaptation, however, deliberately forecloses the same possibilities * Corresponding Author Received: 12/05/2020 Accepted: 14/06/2020 40 Persian Literary Studies Journal by trying to cater to the taste of its mainstream male, chauvinist audience.

  • INDIAN OTT PLATFORMS REPORT 2019 New Regional Flavours, More Entertaining Content
    INDIAN OTT PLATFORMS REPORT 2019 New Regional Flavours, more Entertaining Content INDIAN TRENDS 2018-19 Relevant Statistics & Insights from an Indian Perspective. Prologue Digital technology has steered the third industrial revolution and influenced human civilization as a whole. A number of industries such as Media, Telecom, Retail and Technology have witnessed unprecedented disruptions and continue to evolve their existing infrastructure to meet the challenge. The telecom explosion in India has percolated to every corner of the country resulting in easy access to data, with Over-The-Top (OTT) media services changing how people watch television. The Digital Media revolution has globalized the world with 50% of the world’s population going online and around two-thirds possessing a mobile phone. Social media has penetrated into our day-to-day life with nearly three billion people accessing it in some form. India has the world’s second highest number of internet users after China and is fully digitally connected with the world. There is a constant engagement and formation of like-minded digital communities. Limited and focused content is the key for engaging with the audience, thereby tapping into the opportunities present, leading to volumes of content creation and bigger budgets. MICA, The School of Ideas, is a premier Management Institute that integrates Marketing, Branding, Design, Digital, Innovation and Creative Communication. MICA offers specializations in Digital Communication Management as well as Media & Entertainment Management as a part of its Two Year Post Graduate Diploma in Management.
