Prime Minister Narendra Modi zeroed in multi-faceted actor and filmmaker Kamal Haasan to certify 10,000 technicians of the Indian film industry as part of ‘Skill Development Mission’ scheme. We know that, Kamal is the chairman of FICCI’s Media and Entertainment division.
The skill development program will take place for 3 days in November in Chennai. The initiative is to make Indian technicians internationally qualified. In fact, the program is one of the first ‘worker-led initiatives’ to impart skills to technicians in the film industry. Popular technicians will be roped in to look after training and skills.
“The technicians will be certified by experienced practitioners. The focus will be on technicians doing dangerous work without proper industrial training. We are talking about technicians such as electricians and stunt personnel who do dangerous work, but without proper training, so that they can be safe while working,” said Kamal Haasan.
The recognition of skills will help the workers obtain insurance, access to bank loans and education. “In the long run, I am looking at a scenario where we could give degrees such as a Doctorate in Costume Designing,” added Kamal.
He urged the producers and other major stake holders in the industry to contribute towards upgrading and developing skills.
