Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday, 22 February, said steps will be initiated to empower women to take up film production and technology work in the cinema industry.
Vijayan was responding to a suggestion put forth by noted actor Aishwarya Lekshmi, who called for government intervention in formulating a curriculum to introduce film production and technology to the younger generation.
“Steps will be taken to empower women to venture into business sectors like film production in the movie industry. We will make facilities to promote women in film production and film technology in the movie industry,” Vijayan assured.
In an interaction with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan at the Nava Kerala Sthree Sadas event, held as a follow-up to the Nava Kerala Sadas, Aishwarya Lekshmi urged the state government to formulate a curriculum to introduce film production and technology to the young generation.
During the event held at the CIAL Convention Centre in Kochi, the Chief Minister interacted with women from various sectors.
He said the issues mentioned and suggestions will be considered seriously, and steps will be taken to encourage sports in the state.
The CM assured that the government would consider the possibility of recruiting sportspersons for government jobs annually instead of the current process of once every five years.
A government release said over 3,000 women from various sectors across the state took part in the event held in Kochi.
The Kerala government said it would also initiate steps for the uplift of the transgender community in the state.
Ministers Veena George and R Bindu, sportspersons Shiny Wilson, Mercy Kuttan and MD Valsamma, film personalities Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nilambur Ayisha and Vaikom Vijayalakshmi, as well as senior scientist Tessy Thomas, popularly known as India’s Missile Woman, were among those who participated in the event.
