CMS

CMS was founded in 1990-91 with an objective to make a difference in policy & practice that contributes to our vision of Equitable Growth & Responsive Governance.

"The efforts of CMS VATAVARAN are commendable. It has successfully organised this international film festival by bringing together films that talk about nature. We need to work together and take these films to the people to sensitise them for a lasting impact."

Minister of Environment, Forests and Climate Change

Films competing in the CMS VATAVARAN are of extremely high standards and the Jury had difficulty in selecting the winners. Initiatives like CMS VATAVARAN help environmental films find a regular place in the media’s agenda and does a great deal for creating environment awareness.
