- We have decided that the screenings for our movies will start from 2nd week of August and the most important part is that we we need to get in touch with the colleges and their film societies on our personal level and make sure that when they have their orientation day then we can have our movies screened. When we do get the chance to screen movies in orientation for different colleges we will also take down the names of the people interested to join in for Youth Adda.
- For bigger screenings like we talked about having film fests like for two days or a day long fest we can invite panelists for discussions on the Indo-Pak isssue. We can keep this discussion for the end.
