BMM Department has always initiated CSR activities as part of the Frames Film Festival organized by the Deartment. On the 3rd of December 2019, team Frames took a day out to celebrate ‘International Day of Disabled Persons’ with children who have to live with their disabilities every single day. They collaborated with the ETC Centre for Disability in Vashi to spend time with these kids. A bunch of fun activities were organized that encouraged the differently abled children to showcase their skills, ranging from dance to gully cricket. The day started off with an inauguration ceremony arranged by ETC, which witnessed a spectacular welcome performance by the specially- abled children. After the show, everyone took part in a silent but effective rally where uplifting slogans were held up on signboards in support of inclusivity of such differently abled children.
