The decision of the Maharashtra Government to formulate a comprehensive policy for the Entertainment sector and expedite the procedure of extending "Industry" status to the sector, has come in at the most appropriate time for the fraternity. We are upbeat & overwhelmed with jubilation. This positive announcement made by Shri Amit Deshmukh Cultural Minister Government of Maharashtra is a welcome move and undoubtedly will bring in progressive ramifications to the sector.
Cine & TV Artists association ( CINTAA) , the oldest and most reputed one has strived very hard to get support for the betterment of the Fraternity in general and the actors community in particular. Realizing the challenges faced and to be on par with other sectors, the idea to have an Industry status for us has always been our foremost objectives and our pursuit has always been rationale driven. Our efforts have been truly paid.
We congratulate the Cultural Ministry and other stakeholders of Maharashtra who have taken this pragmatic decision.
