ABOUT PUNE
Film and Television Institute of India is located in the heart of Pune city, at the foot of Hanuman Tekdi- one of
the many hills that give Pune a hill-station like feel. Located at an altitude of 560 meters above sea level on the
fringes Deccan plateau, Pune is known as the Queen of Deccan owing to its generally pleasant weather, healthy
Founded in the 17th century by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj this humble capital of Marathas flourished in the
administration of Peshwas, and became a hub of education and activism during colonial days. This is where
the first ever school for women in India was run by Savitribai & Jyotiba Phule and the first women’s college was
founded by Dhondo Keshav Karve. Since then, Pune has emerged as the Oxford of the East with its numerous
educational institutions and universities attracting a large number of outstation as well international students.
Besides FTII, Pune is also home to a number of national institutions of repute, such as the National Defence
Academy (NDA), Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC), National Film Archives of India (NFAI), National Chemical
Laboratory (NCL), Inter University Centre for Astronomy and Astro-physics (IUCAA), and National Institute for
Virology (NIV), to name a few. Several research institutes Like Bhandarkar Institute of Oriental Research and
language study centres like Maxmullar Bhavan have further enriched the city’s educational environment.
While the constant presence of youth brings vibrancy to Pune’s streets, many historical structures add to its
splendour. From Pataleshwar- the rock-cut cave temple that dates back to Rashtrakuta Dynasty in the 8th Century,
to the 16th Century relics of Shaniwarwada; and Sinhagad Fort that attests to the glory of Maratha kingdom, to Aga
Khan Palace where Mahatma Gandhi was held in detention, the city is bursting with stories- told and untold.
Owing to its rich legacy in Hindustani classical music, theatre, dance and literature that continues till date, Pune
has come to be recognized as the cultural capital of Maharashtra. Sawai Gandharva Music Festival that celebrates
Indian classical music, Vinod Doshi theater festival that showcases avant garde theatre, Pune Biennial that brings
together art, architecture and design and Pune International Film Festival are some of the most sough-after events
by Punekars (residents of Pune). Intercollegiate theatre and art competitions like Purushottam karandak and
Firodiya Karandak are an inseparable part of Pune’s cultural life. The city also has its share of museums, such as the
personal collection of Raja Dinkar Kelkar, a tribal museum and a railway museum, and is home to one of India’s
foremost state-of-the-art sporting arenas- Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex at Balewadi.
For all its industrial development in recent years, with a burgeoning automotive industry and a thriving information
technology sector, Pune has, in a certain way, managed to sustain a certain quaint flavour of a small town. With
stone façade and tile-roofed cottages scattered all over the town and its innumerable old bakeries and restaurants,
Pune makes for a great place to live, learn, explore and enjoy.
