India Moves National Film Awards to Tourist Destinations Starting with Ekta Nagar
The Indian government is shifting the National Film Awards ceremony to prominent tourist destinations to promote tourism and bring the event closer to the public. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw invited states to propose venues with adequate facilities and development plans. The 72nd edition is held at Ekta Nagar near the Statue of Unity, featuring a German-engineered aluminium dome for the event. This initiative aligns with broader efforts to decentralize national events and showcase India's cultural landmarks.
