Development
[edit | edit source]
In April 2025, Chief Minister of Haryana informed that SUPVA has been given responsibility to mentor all universities of the state to start courses in film making. Additionally, process of appointing a consultant for building a Panchkula Film City on existing 100 acre government land in HMT Kalka is underway, and land for Gurugram Film City is being identified.[8]
Issues
[edit | edit source]The Film and Television Department has faced prolonged academic delays, affecting multiple student batches, e.g. 2017-2021 4-year batch completed their degrees in 2024, while 2018-2022 batch is expected to graduate by 2025 or 2026 due to the infrastructural deficiencies and lack of proper filmmaking equipment, faculty shortages and administrative mismanagement.[9] Consequently, there have been various protests by students (2016 and 2023)[10] and 2024 Faculty Protests lasting 77 day[11] and 2023 faculty (2025),[12][13] recurrence of which as well as the infrastructural and administrative challenges have disrupted the academic environment, contributing to uncertainty and dissatisfaction among the student body.[9][14][15]
