    Dhol di awaaj
    (Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2009) Sharma, Sparsh; Raje, Nitin
    Bhangra is a lively form of music that was Originated in Punjab region in Southeast Asia. Traditional is a fusion of music, singing & the beats of the dhol drum, a singled stringed instrument like: Iktara, Tumbi & Chimta. As it creating & expressing new identities in the globalizing world. The idea is to communicate a cultural phenomenon as how Bhangra is transformed by Overseas Punjabis, As every one knows that bhangra got its own significance & place in culture of Punjab, India & Overseas as well as. Though it moves into mainstream culture & Punjsbi people have become more global & advance. Which effects on the second generation? How ever, the people who migrant from Punjab have had s effect on Western Punjabis & Now Bhangra have become global & gain popularity in Overseas as well. As I have diaspora are interpreting & expressing these new forms of culture. My more stress is the circumstance, conditions affecting the chance of people of Punjab and overseas also, who are forgetting their originality. Specially a second generation, they all like remix, thrilling songs, which have changed authenticity of bhangra. They like Punjabi songs, which got really its meaning. Even overseas Punjabis counterparts also come in motion by listening the beats of dhol even though they don’t know the meaning of the lyrics. However I have taken up personal interviews of different types of people, interact with them, and finally I have divided three sections Rural Punjab, Urban Punjab and Diasporic Punjab. I have tried to show the changes have taken place with the pace of time. I have tried to compare the variations by audio, video, photographs, text and categorized the views of the people, personal interviews and Punjabi songs in form of multimedia design. However, bhangra has brought the people of Punjab very close to non Punjabi communities, Though this is an achievement through which globally we have come together in Socially, Culturally and Religiously.

    Vikalp : aware a child - save childhood
    (Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2008) Agarwal, Nidhi; Raje, Nitin
    The focal points of the project are street children, who are being exploited at different levels and under different circumstances. Keeping this in focus and going through the readings and research works done in this area, it was realized that there are many deep-rooted problems both at personal and social level which all together creates unfavorable conditions for children that spoil their childhood. Lot of amendment has been made in constitution but the problem still persists and the percentage is increasing at a regular scale. To address the problem effectively it has to be analyzed in a right manner and direction with sincerely and collectively affords by NGO(S), area panchayats, district administration, state and central government. Among so many problems with which children are fighting for their survival “The Child Labour” (age group 7 to 14 years, who are engaged in hazardous and other gainful occupations which are injurious to their health anddevelopment) is one such problem that plays an important role in departing children from enjoying their childhood. It’s not just parents, teachers, factory owners and at large the society, who has to understand the hazardous effect of child labour, rather children themselves should be made aware of the importance of education in their life to solve the problem at grass root level. To communicate this idea, I choose the medium of film, a film that has a social appeal to make, it interest children and have much-much effect on their soft, unspotted and plain mind. The dialogue, body language, gesture are powerful medium of communication and has a long lasting impact as well. To make the product more effective their should be some group activities in which the children are asked to talk about what they had seen in the film, doing such discussions they will think about the whole subject again and again and for this I had design a colouring book that will be given to the children after they had seen the film, in which the children had to colour the sketches as they had seen in the film. Each sketch is supported with a question which has to be answered as per the story. This will be group activity and a best medium to communicate and interact at different levels. One such film is “Vikalp” that put forward the story of two boys from similar background. One of them, who is comparatively an intelligent boy got attracted towards easily available money, good food and end up joining work on a road side shop to fulfill his unwanted needs whereas the other, who is comparatively less intelligent listened to his teachers, parents voice and continue education, and at last turned out to be much happier in the latter course of life. The story of the film is moving around the real-life situation of society thus screening two ways of dealing a situation. It poses question for the viewers (i.e. children, parents, teachers, shop owners and society in large) at different levels.
