Mr. J. C. Mistry, Head - Corporate Sustainability at TIS adds, "We are very grateful to receive this award from an institution that lends itself to the development of educational foundations. It was also very heartening to learn that the film was screened in front of an audience of educational experts and teachers, and much appreciated by them. We are hopeful that this recognition would help to take our LD movement further."
