"Future in India for animation if taught in school"
New Indian ExpressSharath Bache Gowda, Chairman, KEONICS, said the AVGC sector can reach the projected 26 billion dollars in revenue by 2025 only if the country develops a good pool of talent in content creation, sculpting, painting and other creative arts needed to boost the industry. We need to create an environment where we tell stories and narrate stories for the world.” He also reiterated that the government intends to create an ecosystem for developing AVGC talent in Tier 2 and 3 cities in which work is ongoing through different initiatives. If students are given marks for creative fields it will help build a pathway for their future jobs.” Other stakeholders emphasised that education should focus on inculcating creative skills rather than focusing on the use of advanced technology tools. The discussion also touched upon how many institutions teach outdated curricula and software which become redundant in two years.
