  • Sardar Patel: an Icon of National Unity
    Embassy of India, Dublin NEWSLETTER September-October 2016 Inauguration of Pravasi Bhartiya Kendra Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra (PBK) in New Delhi on 2nd October 2016 on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. External Affairs Minister Smt. Sushma Swaraj, Shri V. K. Singh, MOS, Shri M. J. Akbar, MOS and other dignitaries were also present at the event. Speaking on the occasion Prime Minister said that the PBK will be dedicated for the welfare of the Indian Diaspora spread throughout the globe. He further said, "We are inaugurating this Kendra on a significant day of 2nd October. Gandhiji had left India but the call of the nation brought him back." He emphasised that the world's interest to engage with India has grown significantly. In such times, 'fear of unknown' can be an obstacle. But the Indian Diaspora can help 1 overcome this and thus, connecting with the Diaspora is important. "Let us view our Diaspora not only in terms of 'Sankhya' but let us see it as 'Shakti'," he added. PM Modi said that the idea of Pravasi Bhartiya Divas coined by Atal Bihari Vajpayee and has been continued since his time. Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is celebrated in India on January 9 each year to mark the contribution of the overseas Indian community to the development of India. The day commemorates the return of Mahatma Gandhi from South Africa to Mumbai on 9 January 1915. Located at the heart of the Capital at Dr. Rizal Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra is a tribute to the overseas Indian community; and commemorates their migration to various parts of the world, the challenges they faced abroad, their achievements and contributions.

  • Hits 'N' Misses: Unstoppable Baahubali Rules
    QUARTERLY UPDATE - MEDIA Hits ‘n’ Misses: Unstoppable Baahubali rules India Equity Research | Media Baahubali 2: The Conclusion gave a big bang start to Q1FY18 with the blockbuster reporting overall domestic box office collection of INR10bn plus. However, the much hyped (expected to collect INR2bn plus) Salman Khan flick, Tubelight came croppers and ended with ~INR1bn box office collections. Movies like Sachin A Billion Dream and Hindi Medium performed moderately. Among Hollywood movies, The Fate Of The Furious 8 did well in Q1FY18. Base had movies like Housefull 3 (reported INR1bn plus collection) and The Jungle Book (reported INR1.8bn plus collection). We reiterate that huge scale and screen additions place PVR and Inox Leisure in a sweet spot to capture higher share of box office pie. \ Strong releases impelled ad growth Footfall at the multiplexes was mainly driven by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. However, it fell short of expectations due to lacklustre performance by Tubelight ‐ base had movies like Housefull 3 and The Jungle Book. Among the Hollywood movies, The Fate Of The Furious 8 did moderately well in Q1FY18, while Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2, Pirates Of The Caribbean‐5 and Wonder Woman failed to make a mark. We estimate 18% YoY ad growth for PVR, aided by good expected performance of Tubelight, Baahubali 2 and Sachin A Billion Dream. PVR: Ticket prices to surge We estimate PVR’s ATP grew 10% YoY in Q1FY18. We expect the multiplex industry to continue to report decent growth in Q1FY18 on higher share of net box office collections led by: i) addition of screens in past 12 months (PVR opened 8 screens in Q1FY18); and ii) pick up in Hollywood films.

    Cause Partner First Edition South Asia Laadli Media and Advertising Awards for Gender Sensitivity 2015-16 Supported by Associate Partner Friday, May 12, 2017 at The Tata Theatre, NCPA, Nariman Point, Mumbai e had a dream. A dream for Laadli. To make it an international award. We thought it is too far fetched and unrealistic. But as they say, even a Wdwarf can look farther if he has a giant's shoulders to stand on. Mr. Ramesh Narayan and the IAA team shared our dream and we are here today launching the South Asia Media and Advertising Awards for Gender Sensitivity. The regional teams of IAA from Pakistan, Bangladsh, Srilanka, Nepal and Mauritius formed the jury panels and selected the winners. A big Thank You to IAA for making our dream come true. We are thankful to Ashok Piramal group for supporting the South Asia Awards as Associate Sponsor. Our desire to think big is further fuelled by the unconditional support from Colors Viacom18 as our Cause Partners. UNFPA deserves a special mention here for their consistent support over the last 11 years. It was an exhilarating experience to go through the entries and select the winners. The discussions on LGBTQ+ issues, women's participation in workforce, politics, conflict were much more nuanced while the editorials on social trends and investigations into implementation of the programmes and policies by the government were much more hard hitting. New issues were being taken up and old issues were being analysed from new perspectives. This is an exciting time when new media is challenging the traditional media by giving voice and space to myriad perspectives and empowering the marginalised to claim their space.

We are all going through strange and difficult times as a pandemic sweeps across the globe forcing us to reinvent and reorganise ourselves. As we battle the virus we also introspect about how we have construct- - ed our society both locally and globally and search for new ideas that will take us into a post pandemic future. I have the pleasure of presenting the Annual Report 2020 of Ramanujan College online for all of you to browse through at your leisure and learn of the many achievements of the institution in the past one year. Nevertheless, I would like to pin some of the major accomplishments of Ramanujan College for the year 2019-20. Since teaching came to an abrupt halt by the middle of March 20 and the syl- labus remained incomplete, the teachers of Ramanujan College took up the chal- lenge of completing the semester teaching work and preparing the students for the end semester exams earnestly. The teachers used all forms of online platforms to stay connected with the students and continue with the teaching learning process.
