NEW DELHI: The government is setting up a Centre of Excellence at IIT Bombay to promote courses in animation, visual effects, gaming and comic (AVGC), information and broadcasting minister Prakash Javadekar said while addressing the CII Big Picture Summit on Wednesday.
Javadekar said India is a country where growth of communication technology is phenomenal and presents tremendous scope for the entertainment and media industry, calling it the sunrise sector for which the proposed Centre will undertake initiatives to promote entrepreneurship and encourage start-ups.
I&B secretary Amit Khare also sought to clear the air on the recent move to bring all content, including OTTs, under the ambit of the I&B ministry and said the idea behind the change is only to bring content at one place ( I&B ministry) and keep platforms at another (ministry of Electronics and IT). He said the government’s role in the sector is less of a regulator and more of a facilitator.
