Tata Interactive’s 3D Animation Film on Learning Disabilities Wins Second Award

MUMBAI - Global Leader in Learning Solutions, Tata Interactive Systems, Receives
Recognition for its Corporate Sustainability Film.

Tata Interactive Systems’ (TIS) 3D animation film titled ‘Special Deeds
for Special Needs’ (www.tatalearningforum.com/TLDF/TLDFMedia.htm) was
judged the best film in the Animation and Puppetry category at the NCERT
children’s festival of the All India Children’s Educational Audio Video
Festival (AICEAVF 2009). The award was presented at a ceremony on March 6th
2009 in New Delhi, India.

The animation had also won top-spot in the Best Animated Film on Social
Welfare category at the FICCI Best Animated Frame Awards 2009 earlier this
year. The film, conceptualized and created in-house by TIS, was first
screened at their corporate sustainability event-The Tata Interactive
Learning Disability Forum (TLDF) in 2008. The animation division at TIS
created the 3D animation for this award winning film.

The AICEAVF is organized by the Central Institute of Educational
Technology (CIET) to felicitate creative producers who contribute
significantly to the process of broadening of horizons of children and
teachers through audio and video programs.

According to Ms. Manisha Mohan, Head - Design and Animation, “Special
Deeds for Special Needs was the shortest film amongst the entries. We are
delighted at the recognition received by our recently set up 3D animation
studio.”

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.”
