The ministry of Human Resource Development is likely to introduce a new course of Animation in schools governed by CBSE from Intermediate level as soon as it receives a detailed model for this stream from Bollywood industry which wants government to initiate animation courses in all schools and colleges as early as possible, said Kapil Sibal, union minister for HRD. He pointed out that a delegation of Bollywood called him to introduce the animation courses at school levels in view of its demand in the industry.
World of opportunities
Sibal has emphasised the need for introduction of such skillful and resourceful courses in all CBSE controlled institutions and other colleges also since people with skill are hardly available and that India is able to successfully absorb shocks of anticipated human resource crisis as Sibal foresees a great human resource crisis taking India into it’s grip. Padmaja L, teacher, Fr Agnel’s School, Vashi, feels, “We have been stressing the need of vocational education in this country for the last few years. If animation becomes a subject at school level it would be a wonderful decision especially for those who want to make their career in this field.” With the emergence of technology in Broadcast Media and Cinema, animation has shown wonderful scope with thousands of jobs. Anita Almeda, teacher, DPS Bangalore agrees, “This subject will hold a child’s attention and give their creativity an outlet. However, I feel the subject should be optional and not compulsory as some children may not be talented in this area. It would also help if the government recognises it.”
Animation excites
Students are quite excited on the government’s move as it will give them an opportunity to explore their creative side. Annabel A, class VIII, St Anthony’s GHS, excitedly says, “We are bored of studying science and humanities and want to study something different which is not only unique but creative and innovative. Animation is one subject which has vast opportunity to explore your creativity. At the same time it is interesting too.” Ashish Garud, class X, St Mary’s School says, “At a time when the world, especially the technological world is advancing so much, this would be an added advantage. Animation can help unleash creativity and also make students learn how to use the software.” This new move has sent a new wave of freshness among students and is sure to receive an immense positive response from them.

Integrated development
The inclusion of animation as a course at the school level is definitely poised for an integrated development for the students. Many feel that apart from opening an artistic outlet, it will help them develop a visual flavour, which may not be possible currently. Abigail A, student, feels, “The visual expression of minds ready to take the leap in dynamics of pattern through exploring lines, spaces, shapes, textures, painting, silkscreen printing and dyeing, colours on paper and fabric. If blended with mixed media together, it can be demonstrated in sketchbooks as well. It will help in providing us with a broader picture of some of the technological changes that have emerged in the world of media and animation. Thus providing us with a way of integrating this technology in the designing process. The importance of the development process, from concept to consumer, continues to surface in the subject as you explore the various designing software and programmes pertaining to visualisation.”
