00:30So, they are giving more focus towards Tamil folk arts.
00:40The first time, they are organizing a workshop for folk arts to common people and the Hindi students.
00:46So, two hours will be held.
00:48After that, the folk parade will be held.
00:51As I said, since the children's patriotism is important,
00:55there will be three programs.
00:57The first one is Saffron.
01:00Saffron is a dance drama about how our people fought.
01:04Follow the white colour into freedom.
01:06After freedom, green colour.
01:08How India developed.
01:10The school project is a dance project in that concept.
01:14So, this is the first time in the history of Sarang.
01:19The children are doing it.
01:21I wish the entire team a very good luck.
01:24I request all of you to come and cover for five days.
01:27The program will be very good.
01:30You have covered a lot.
01:32It has been telecasted on TV.
01:3455,000 people registered for it.
01:38For two days, from different states like Karnataka, Andhra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu.
01:45In Tamil Nadu, Ulundurpetai, Salem, Erode, Karur.
01:49From different districts.
01:51School, college students.
01:53All of them came.
01:55For two days, the whole IIT Madras was there.
01:59It was a good crowd.
02:01As much as we could.
02:05Each discipline.
02:07There are 18 departments.
02:09We gave them a good introduction about each discipline.
02:13What is studying above?
02:15There were 8th and 9th grade students.
02:20How can we orient you?
02:22Can you study biology?
02:24Can you study science?
02:26We gave them a lot of exposure.
02:30Especially for children.
02:32What is the world?
02:34What can we study?
02:36How can we shape our career?
02:38We believe that this open house would have been very useful.
02:42A lot of parents gave their feedback.
02:45Headmasters from village schools came.
02:49Everyone said that it is very eye-opening.
02:53We are thinking of making it more extensive next year.
02:57We have to do it for 2-3 days.
02:59We will focus on each department in batches.
03:02We have many ideas.
03:04You are playing a big role in this.
03:07The media is playing a big role in this.
03:10I would like to thank you all.
03:13This is the first press meet in this new year.
03:19Today is Saturday, 2025.
03:2151st year.
03:2350 years of education.
03:25From 1951 to 1952.
03:27In this 51st year,
03:29We have brought a lot of innovations.
03:31Specifically,
03:33We have identified 15 folk arts in Tamil Nadu.
03:40Tomorrow evening at 7pm,
03:44The Honorable Governor will come.
03:46We haven't received confirmation yet.
03:50Ilayaraja sir will come.
03:52We will make it like a folk art parade.
03:56The Governor will flag off.
03:58From Vanavani School,
04:01Through the Gajendra Circle,
04:04To the Open Air Theatre,
04:06They will demonstrate their folk arts.
04:10We want to give a good introduction to folk arts in Tamil Nadu.
04:18Before that,
04:20Tomorrow morning,
04:22We will give 2 hours of training.
04:24We will give training for 6 folk arts out of 16.

04:36There will be some training on folk arts.
04:38They can witness the parade itself.
04:43They can follow the steps.
04:46They will know a lot about the art.
04:48That is our opinion.
04:50After that,
04:52We will have a movement.
04:54We will talk about the history of our country.
05:00We will talk about the freedom struggle.
05:05We will have a dance drama.
05:09It will be like a skit.
05:12It will last for 1 hour.
05:1445-50 minutes.
05:16We will do it in OIT.
05:20It will be the first time in the history of Sarang.
05:24After that,
05:26Shashank Subramaniam,
05:28He is a child prodigy.
05:30He plays the flute.
05:32After that,
05:34There will be a big event with folk arts.
05:38It will last for 2 hours.
05:40Those who have registered can participate.
05:46We have arranged it like that.
05:49This is an important part of Sarang this year.
05:54There are many presentations.
05:57For inclusivity,
05:59Sarang team,
06:01Today,
06:03They are the organizers.
06:05Vixit Bharat,
06:07100th Independence Day,
06:09They will be the leaders.
06:11One of them will be the director.
06:13We believe that.
06:15They should have a social feel.
06:19We have brought inclusivity this year.
06:22Similarly,
06:24For deserving students,
06:26Through One Plus,
06:28Scholarships,
06:30A social feel,
06:32A nationalist feel.
06:34That is our opinion.
06:36That is why we have taken these steps.
06:38Beyond this,
06:40This year,
06:42We have introduced finance and cultural excellence admission.
06:46Sarang will be an important event.
06:50Based on this,
06:52We have introduced an admission scheme.
06:54For cultural activities,
06:56We are going to give a lot of concentration.
07:00These are the highlights of Sarang 2025.
07:05Beyond that,
07:07Internationally,
07:09South Africa, Italy, Japan,
07:11Artists are coming.
07:13There are professional shows.
07:17There is a pop night.
07:19There is a rock band.
07:23We are going to give an international introduction of music.
07:28There are many cultural based competitions.
07:31We are going to conduct that too.
07:35Many VIPs are coming.
07:38They are interacting with the students.
07:43There are many spotlight talks.
07:45These are the highlights of Sarang 2025.
07:50We have introduced some new things compared to the last 50 years.
07:56Sarang 2025 should become bigger.
07:59Before Sarang 100,
08:01It should become a massive international festival.
08:04Suddenly, it has become a national festival.
08:06International participants are coming slowly.
08:09People are coming from Zanzibar, Africa.
08:14I have no doubt that it will become a big international festival.
08:19All of you, media and friends,
08:21Participate in these events.
08:24Register your students and come to the competitions.
08:28This is for the public.
08:30Not for AT, but for the public.
08:32In the first inauguration event,
08:35It is at 7 pm.
08:37Tomorrow 7 pm.
08:40Therukoothu, Karagam, Poikal Kuthirai, Kattakkal,
08:46Mailatham, Maadatham, Nayandimalam, Parai,
08:50Thudumbatham, Puliyatham, Shilambam, Malarkambam,
08:56Theiyam, Ekshaganam, Sivavadhyam.
09:00People are coming from different districts.
09:04People are coming from tribal areas.
09:07Sivavadhyam has 3-4 districts.
09:10They have formed a team.
09:13Sivavadhyam has only 1-2 teams.
09:16Sivavadhyam has only 2 teams to play.
09:19People are coming from different districts.
09:22There are many districts in each team.
09:25In the beginning of last year,
09:27How is the cinema team?
09:29There are many good things.
09:32Cinema is also a good thing.
09:36I don't know about tomorrow.
09:38He has not confirmed it.
09:40He said he will come.
09:42We have sent an invitation.
09:44The cinema team is...
09:46There is a lot of technology in cinema.
09:49There are a lot of computers in cinema.
09:52Without computers, there is no cinema.
09:55In virtual reality and augmented reality,
09:58there are a lot of cinema influences.
10:02Can you write a cinema story?
10:05There is a stage like that.
10:07I did an experiment.
10:10I wanted to make a movie.
10:13I asked a professor to tell me a story.
10:15I told him a story.
10:17After making a movie,
10:19I don't know whether it will run or not.
10:21I started telling stories.
10:23Storytelling is very important.
10:26Thirdly,
10:28Today, education itself is gaming.
10:32Storytelling is a new form of education.
10:36In those days,
10:38everything could not be drawn.
10:40Animation could not be done.
10:42In those days,
10:44we used chalkboards.
10:46We can do the same in animation.
10:50There are many experiments.
10:52In those days,
10:54there was a big gas chamber experiment.
10:56If we raise the gas chamber,
10:58the pressure will go up.
11:00If we raise it more,
11:02the gas chamber will explode.
11:04We cannot see the gas chamber explode.
11:06There is only one gas chamber.
11:08If it explodes,
11:10no one can experiment.
11:12In simulation,
11:14if we raise the temperature,
11:16it will explode.
11:18This is virtual reality and augmented reality.
11:20This is the base.
11:22If you have a passenger car,
11:24the technology of the passenger car
11:26comes from the race car.
11:28The race car is the toughest vehicle.
11:30It needs speed and safety.
11:32Safety features come from the race car.
11:34Similarly,
11:36the animations we see today
11:38all have an origin in cinema.
11:40In 1995,
11:42Jurassic Park was shot
11:44with a very limited computer.
11:46You must have seen Jurassic Park.
11:48I am afraid to watch it.
11:50I am afraid to watch it.
11:52You must have seen it.
11:54I am afraid to watch it.
11:56It is only cartoons.
11:58Half of it is cartoons.
12:00It is like augmented reality.
12:02Today,
12:04education material development
12:06or presenting a book
12:08in a place
12:10has a lot of inspirations
12:12that we can take from cinema.
12:14There are many workshops
12:16like storytelling, virtual reality,
12:18augmented reality.
12:20They have brought in speakers.
12:22That is why,
12:24many art forms
12:26have been taught through cinema.
12:28That is why,
12:30cinema is a concept.
12:32Any other questions?
12:34Any other questions?
12:38Last time,
12:40we had 20,000-22,000 people.
12:42This year, we expect 30,000 people.
12:44In total,
12:46in 5 days.
12:48School children
12:50have competitions.
12:52We expect 30,000 people.
12:54We expect 30,000 people.
12:56We expect 30,000 people.
12:58We expect 30,000 people.
13:04Mukund Varadarajan's father.
13:06Varadarajan will be part of the...
13:08He has been kind enough
13:10to be a chief guest.
13:12Mukund Varadarajan.
13:14A mark of respect to Mukund.
13:18Mukund Varadarajan
13:20brought it out.
13:22Amaran Cinema brought it out.
13:24I asked, why cinema?
13:26There are many good things in it.
13:38Now,
13:40in 2026,
13:42we have started planning.
13:44For the first time,
13:46we are going to give awards
13:48to young artists in India.
13:50We are going to give awards
13:52to artists who achieved
13:54in art forms.
13:56We are going to give them
13:58awards next year.
14:00So,
14:02the viewers of media
14:04can prepare
14:06for the artists.
14:08They can win an award from
14:10IIT Madras.
14:12From that award,
14:14we can bring in
14:167th, 8th, 10th, etc.
14:18We can make them study.
14:20We can bring them to
14:22cultural admission.
14:24We want to bring in more
14:26culture, art into campus.
14:28That is also
14:30our motivation.
14:32We are going to identify talent.
14:34We are going in seek of the talent.
14:36We are going to identify talent
14:38and bring it here.
14:40We started planning
