Bapu Sarvagod

Film Maker, Visionary Educator

“I started painting at the National Society for Clean Cities India (NSCCI), one of Mumbai’s most prestigious NGOs dedicated to the upliftment of young, talented underprivileged children. With the exclusive training I received here, I won the Shankar’s International Award in Painting in 1989. NSCCI has helped me develop my vision as a socially responsible, secular filmmaker. I consider it to be my first university in life, one that enlightened me and spurred me on my path to success. It is a place where dreams are realised.” Bapu Sarvagod – filmmaker, visionary educator, graduate of the Film & Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune, with a Fine Arts degree from Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai, and an MA in Philosophy and Political Science.
