ReplyDeleteI'd like to congratulate Punjabi University and Dr. Gurmeet Singh Mann for the initiative they have taken to start the B.Tech. Integrated Course in Television and Film Production.
ReplyDeleteThis would enable the students to choose a Path of their interest after +2 and grow in the same field.
The initiative of launching such professional course taken by Punjabi University is highly appreciable as it will give a strong platform to those who want to prove themselves in this type of professional field.
ReplyDeleteI congratulate Dr. Gurmeet Mann for this remarkable effort as this course will surely brighten the future of younger generation.
Hats off to you Dr Maan, a great effort indeed. Your personal effort and hard work are evident in the meticulous planning done for this course that would be a pioneering attempt in this part of the country. Keep it up and have a great going. All the best.
ReplyDeleteIt is a giant step taken by a govt. institution where the students can feel and realise their dreams turning into reality.
ReplyDeleteBest infrastructure, best faculty and highest level of commitment would certainly transform the hobbies of the students into a successful profession.
Its also beneficial for the economically weaker section students who cannot pay hefty fees for doing such a professional course.
My heartiest congrats and good luck to Dr. Gurmeet Singh Maan without whose labour sticking maneuvers this course would havn't been thought off.

ReplyDeleteIt is really a commendable triumph for both punjabi university , patiala and Dr. gurmeet mann.
ReplyDeleteThis platform will surely provide opportunities to learn the technical side of media industry to the students, that too under the supervision of govt university and well knwn faculty.
Such courses are need of an hour.
Congratulations !!`
Well, the new course will truly establish new avenues for those apsirants who love the very art of TV and film production but were unable to pursue the same for some reason. though similar courses have been on the menu of several private institutes and colleges, but in a place like punjab - it is a first and that too at unviversity level and on the lines of FTII, pune. now that's what makes it genuinely irresistible, doesn't it?????
ReplyDeletebesides, it is only through sheer dedication and perseverance that Dr Maan has got the nod for commencing such a demanding course of study.
it's, undoubtedly, an opportunity of a lifetime to get yourself enrolled in a course like this one, which otherwise seemed out of question - owing to inaccessibility, improper infrastructure, faculty and most importantly value for money. i guess all those who wish to create a niche for themselves in TV and film production - punjabi university, patiala, is the place to be. for it is here where you can realise your dreams to be what you want to be.
All the best dr maan for this extraordinarily excellent endeavour.
Cheers!!!
A commendable venture indeed that would fulfill the hopes and aspirations of a lot many students of the northern region. It is indeed a innovative job oriented course which I think would suitably equip passouts to take up professional assignments. Kudos to Punjabi University and Dr Gurmeet Maan to have conceived the idea of starting this course and meticulously executing the plan. My best wishes.

Wov.....It is a good step taken by the university. It would definately help in shaping the future of students instead of doing an ordinary degree of BA. This is the right time to run such job oriented courses like this. Till today, the number of people from Punjab region is very small in technical side of TV and fiml production and this course of Punjabi University would contribute a lot in this field.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most intuitive & innovative attempt by any University in the world. The passouts from here r sure to find lucrative jobs because of the nature of the course in the media industry, especially TV and films. I wish I could be a part of this. Congrats to the dreamers of this course.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Grabbing opportunity at this time is vital. The market and potential is great. Students of punjabi univ will be entering this stream while others may be still contemplating. Congratulations Dr Mann for your foresight .
