Kerala, India-based Kinfra Film & Video Park (KFVP) has gained approval from the commerce ministry to launch an international animation school, which will be built on a private-public-partnership (PPP) basis, reports THE BUSINESS STANDARD. The new school will be located on Kinfra's campus in Thiruvanathapuram.
Kinfra md A S Suresh Babu said, "We had earlier submitted a project report on the possibilities of the animation school to the Commerce Ministry and this got a final approval. Now we are in the process of finalizing a managing committee for the project."
The international animation school would be set up in the proposed animation zone and this would be conceptualised as per Nasscom recommendations. The school would seek professional support from global organisations and leading companies in the animation sector, he added.
KFVP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corp. (Kinfra), which is part of the Kerala government.
