#75ReelsforCelebratingIndia
A Youth Engagement Program to Celebrate Positivity and Patriotism to Promote Culture
To honour 75 years of India's independence as well as the illustrious history of its people, culture, and accomplishments, TERI is implementing a program titled, #75ReelsforCelebratingIndia. The program envisages a Reel- making competition along with hosting a National Youth Forum. The program is being implemented in partnership with Ministry of Culture, Government of India, under the umbrella of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. The program aims to provide a learning environment for young people while also recognizing India's distinctive culture through inspirational messages and the display of patriotism in a variety of forms. This program will act as a discussion forum for issues related to creating the India of one's dreams, maximizing India's potential, and positively influencing India's changing environment.
We are inviting youth in India who fall into the age category of 15 – 29 years to take part in the Reel-making competition. The theme of the competition is ‘One Country, Many Cultures.’ The objective of the competition is to explore youth creativity and honour the glorious history of India's people, culture, and accomplishments. Reels have surely become a means for the younger generation to exhibit their creativity and bring in the best trends on social media in this digital era and an effective way to reach a wider audience. According to recent statistics, reels get 22% more engagement than traditional videos. Through the repository of reels, a collection of 75 reels will be featured during the National Youth Forum that will take place in Delhi on the eve of ‘Constitution Day’ i.e. November 21, 2023.
