TANKER Foundation invites nominees for annual award
The Edits Film Festival concluded in Mumbai with filmmaker Farah Khan as the special guest, alongside jury members Ahsaas Channa, Dolly Singh, Nikhil Taneja and Rajeev Masand. The event also saw the participation of over 100 content creators, with Ishank Gupta, Sanya Rohillaa and Ahsan Vazir announced as the festivals top three winners. The winners were recognised for their storytelling and use of Edits, Instagrams video-editing app, to create their submissions. The festival invited creators to turn unpolished videos from their camera rolls into edited content, encouraging them to experiment with different storytelling techniques and editing features. Submissions opened in August, giving participants 45 days to create and submit their work. The festivals official selection showcased a range of approaches to storytelling, while the top three entries stood out for their creativity, restraint and editing skills. The winners were selected by jury members Ahsaas Channa, Dolly Singh, Nikhil Taneja and Rajeev Masand. Speaking about the initiative, Ankit Rihal, Head of Global Partnerships, Meta, India, said, Enabling creators with the right tools, platforms and opportunities is central to what we do. The festival opened up new creative possibilities, encouraging creators to experiment with features they hadn't used before and tell stories in fresh ways. We're thankful to our jury members and to Farah Khan for the invaluable perspective she shared on her storytelling journey. Farah Khan on content creation and storytelling Farah Khan attended the festival as a special guest and spoke about her approach to filmmaking and creating content for digital platforms. Having worked on feature films for theatrical audiences as well as short-form videos for Instagram Reels, the filmmaker discussed how she approaches the two formats. Explaining her approach to social media, Farha said she prefers to keep her content spontaneous rather than plan every detail. She also credited Gen Z with influencing her outlook towards creating and sharing videos. She stated, People assume there's a big plan behind it, but I don't overthink what I post. Gen Z has inspired me they're so nonchalant about it, no second-guessing. Be it a clip from my show, a random chat or a bit of mischief on the spot, everything is spontaneous for me. I think relatability and realness, with a bit of humor, are what audiences actually respond to on Instagram. The filmmakers comments highlighted the role of authenticity and humour in connecting with audiences on social media. The festival brought together creators and industry professionals to recognise emerging talent and encourage experimentation with digital storytelling tools.

India's first Petroglyph Conservation Park in Leh. 40 water bodies across 40 villages under Project Amrit Him Sarovar, he further wrote. Modi said the projects would strengthen connectivity, boost development, preserve Ladakhs rich heritage and improve the quality of life of its people. These projects will strengthen connectivity, boost development, preserve the rich heritage and improve the quality of life of the people, he said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate and dedicate to the nation five major development projects worth around 3,350 crore in Ladakh on Thursday at around 12:30 PM via video conferencing. He will also address the gathering on the occasion. The five projects will strengthen connectivity, improve energy infrastructure, conserve cultural heritage and enhance water security in the region. Prime Minister will inaugurate the New Passenger Terminal Building at Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport, Leh, built at a cost of 640 crore. Spread over 23,800 square metres, the modern terminal is designed to handle 35 lakh passengers annually. Incorporating geothermal energy to enhance energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint, the facility reflects the importance of sustainable infrastructure in Ladakhs ecologically sensitive environment. Blending modern passenger amenities with elements of Ladakhs rich cultural heritage, the terminal will improve passenger convenience and strengthen air connectivity with the rest of the country. Prime Minister will dedicate to the nation the 298-km-long Nimmu-Padum-Darcha Road, constructed by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO). Connecting Nimmu in Leh with Darcha in Himachal Pradesh through the remote Zanskar Valley, the road provides an alternative connectivity corridor to Ladakh, supplementing the SrinagarLeh and ManaliLeh highways. Traversing challenging Himalayan terrain, including the high-altitude Shinkun La Pass, the road marks a significant engineering achievement. Its strategic importance lies in enhancing operational mobility and strengthening logistical support for the Armed Forces. It will also benefit residents of Zanskar by improving access to healthcare, education, markets and essential services. As part of efforts to strengthen energy security and harness Ladakhs renewable energy potential, Prime Minister will inaugurate the 9 MW Hanu Small Hydroelectric Project and the 66 kV Double-Circuit Dah-Hanu-Khaltsi Transmission Line. The projects will strengthen power evacuation infrastructure and improve the reliability of Ladakhs electricity network. They mark an important step towards harnessing the regions hydropower resources and strengthening its energy infrastructure. Recognising the importance of preserving Ladakhs ancient archaeological heritage, Prime Minister will inaugurate Indias first Petroglyph Conservation Park at Sindhu Ghat, Leh. Ladakh is home to hundreds of prehistoric rock art sites featuring carvings of wildlife, human figures and symbolic representations that offer valuable insights into thousands of years of human history. These petroglyphs are an irreplaceable record of the regions cultural and civilisational past. The conservation park will provide a dedicated space for protecting these vulnerable archaeological remains, raising public awareness and encouraging responsible heritage tourism. Prime Minister will also inaugurate 40 water bodies developed across 40 villages under Project Him Sarovar, an initiative aimed at addressing Ladakhs unique geographical and climatic challenges through water conservation, in line with the objectives of Mission Amrit Sarovar. Agriculture in Ladakh faces a seasonal imbalance between water availability and demand. Farmers often experience water scarcity during the crucial sowing season, even as snowmelt and glacial runoff provide substantial water resources during other periods. Project Him Sarovar seeks to address this challenge by conserving water when it is available and ensuring its availability when required, thereby supporting irrigation, sustaining agricultural livelihoods and strengthening long-term water security in the region.
