    \n
  1. AJAY DHAWAJA<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    The music video is a patriotic tribute to one\u2019s country, emphasizing the deep connection and pride felt towards it. It expresses a commitment to sacrifice and celebrate the nation\u2019s well-being. The imagery of being \u201cbuilt from your soil\u201d underscores the sense of belonging and identity derived from the land.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. ONAKE OBAVVA<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      ONAKE OBAVVA is a film about a brave woman, Onake. When Hyder Ali\u2019s repeated attempts to breach the walls of the Chitradurga fort were met with steadfast resistance and his army disguised as ordinary fort workers managed to access a secret route, Obavva, an unassuming housewife noticed the infiltrators slipping in through the secret path. Without hesitation, she picked up an Onake, a common pestle, lying nearby, as an unconventional weapon and confronted the intruders one by one and expertly wielded her pestle to deadly effect.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. EVERYWHERE<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        The film EVERYWHERE talks of our fast fashion lifestyle where we are driven by the urge to consume all that we can. We are ignorant about the components of our garments- most of which are made of polymers. When a garment dies, it gets buried in landfills. This film takes us to Pirana, the largest landfill in Ahmedabad, where the characters are clad in plastic to illustrate the impacts of unsustainable fashion.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. INDIA- HOPES 24<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          Indians of different generations, across the country, speak in the language they are most comfortable in, about their Hopes for India in 2024. Interspersed with a diorama of visuals from across our nation, this film is a homage to the glorious diversity that is India.<\/p>\n

            Moringa tree (Moringa oleifera) is emerging as a source of super food in \u2018Amrit Kaal\u2019. Moringa leaf has good potential to be incorporated in malnutrition eradication programs as it is very rich in nutrients and is cheaper compared to nutritional supplements. This documentary film explores the benefits of moringa and its possibility as a profitable crop which can withstand climate change and provide foreign currency.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. BIGARI KAAMGAR<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n
