  1. Divya’s short film has been selected for an international film festival.Divya’s story is a affirmation of how dreams come true with faith and love. Her belief in something bigger than herself made her quit a corporate job and start independent filmmaking. In a very short time she challenged her self and proved dreams do manifest.  Watch and support her film &  Read more about her journey .
  2. After Partho Bhaumick ( our every day hero who teaches photography to blind) Ridhesh Sejpal too got selected for prestigious Karmveer Puruskaar.
