Two faculty members of Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) would interact with final year students of BA/BSc here on Jan 20 to create awareness about courses offered by the Pune-based institute and Satyajeet Ray FTII, Kolkata.
An official statement said the FTII in collaboration with directorate of information and public relation (DIPR) would conduct one day awareness camp at DIPR auditorium at Polo View Srinagar.
