The Foundation has had a long tradition of supporting young and talented individuals in the area of Fine Arts. It is in April 2007 that the Foundation initiated another series of awards – Inlaks Awards for Film and Television Studies – in India. The awards have been set up at the Film and Television Institute at Pune.
The awardees are selected through a two-tier selection process. Applications for the awards are invited from the students. The applications are short –listed by a committee of teachers from the Film and Television Institute of India. The short-listed candidates are invited for an interview. The Director of the Institute, staff members of the Institute and a representative of the Foundation constitute the committee.
The Awards have evolved over the years and at present the committee announces one annual award for each of the following categories (of Rs.1,00,000/-each).
