The evening of 20th October witnessed the much awaited 8th Iceplex Ad Film Awards (IAFA) organized by Ryan TV, part of the Ryan International Group of Institutions. Students from across the country make short socially relevant ads, which are judged by an eminent Jury. This year saw over 30,000 entries from across 60 cities in India.

Chief Guest, Shri. CH. Vidyasagar Rao, Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra presented the awards to the winners from all across the country. He said,” I congratulate the Ryan Group for conceiving the Online Ad film making contest for school children and for nurturing and sustaining the event successfully for all these years. Amazing is only one word, that comes to my mind after watching the ad films made by the students. I am very happy that topics like Women Empowerment, Health, Safety, Water Conservation, Environment and Child Nutrition were given to the students for making Ad Films. I will appeal to Managing Director Mrs. Grace Pinto to make IAFA a national and international event. “

Mrs. Grace Pinto, MD, Ryan Group said, “Ryan’s IAFA is one amongst many platforms that we provide to our students to showcase their talents. I thank my Lord Jesus Christ for his blessings and for making this event a big success.”
