Looking for HER

Our country’s landscape with reference to information and related engagement needs are large enough to provide communication opportunities for all willing and well meaning communicators. A recent endeavor of START, therefore, is to engage girls and train them in the art and craft of filmmaking with the objective of increasing female participation in ‘science filmmaking’ through conducting intensive ‘skillshops’ at colleges for women across India.

The Poonam Chaurasia Memorial Award

‘Poonam Chaurasia Memorial Award’ in the memory of Poonam, our co-founder and an extremely talented young cameraperson who left for heavenly abode quite untimely. The award constituted by Vigyan Prasar is meant to encourage young female science film makers.

Looking for HER endeavors to...

Map science filmmaking efforts in the country.
Help identify locally available communication resources.
Create insight into the dynamics for citizens removed from related pursuits.
Pooling of resources for creating short broadcast quality videos.
Bring together fellow communicators to make use of the knowledge resources obtained through jointinitiatives.
While women moving out of jobs into skilling and education is a positive, the downside is that, as the economy grows and gets urbanized, women aren’tgetting opportunity to enter the job market, especially in production television owing chiefly to the perception that leading life as a cameraperson for a female is rather tough.
