On the occasion of International Women’s Day, the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) on Tuesday announced a virtual training programmer for hundred women scriptwriters in partnership with streaming platform Netflix.

With the program, designed for industry professionals, freelance writers, academicians, and final-year students of fil schools, the NFDC aims to upskill and empower the creative community in India, and create a more gender-inclusive media and entertainment ecosystem, PTI reported from Mumbai.

The curriculum and course structure of the program, to be conducted in four batches, have been collaboratively developed by the NFDC and Netflix.

Furthermore, the participants will complete the program after submitting a script, within 30 days of completion of their training and each participant will undergo a comprehensive assessment by a joint committee of officials from the NFDC and Netflix.

Based on the evolution, shortlisted scripts will have the opportunity to be selected for NFDC screenwriting Lab or at the NFDC Film Bazaar.

The participants will get an opportunity to train under veteran screenwriter-filmmaker Munish Bhardwaj, known for movies like ‘Moh Maya Money’, ‘Ankhon Dekhi’ and ‘Everything is Fine.

Ravinder Bhakar, managing director, NFDC, said this program would empower women and will provide them a platform to showcase their talent.

“With the advent of OTT platforms, it is a great contribution by Netflix to have come forward to support the cause of training and development of women professionals,” Bhakar said in a statement.
