In a gesture that couldn't have come on a better occasion than International Teacher's Day film maker Anand Pandit of Anand Pandit Motion Pictures has instituted The Amitabh Bachchan Media Scholarship to encourage young students of cinema to strive for excellence.

"In a world where creative limitations are constantly being challenged, it is important for every aspiring student of cinema to break new grounds and set new boundaries of creativity.

I hope this scholarship will push students of cinema to do that.

This scholarship is a wonderful gesture by Anand bhai to harness and nurture new talent. Anand bhai is a dear friend and I am humbled by his gesture in instituting this initiative.

I hope this scholarship helps talented individuals pursue their love for cinema," said Amitabh Bachchan.

"I believe that we must do everything possible to infuse fresh talent into the Hindi film industry.

I don't see anyone better than Amit ji to inspire our younger generations.

I feel a scholarship is a small ‎contribution to immortalise the biggest icon of Bollywood as well as give an opportunity to those who show true talent," states filmmaker Anand Pandit.

The annual scholarship will be awarded to the student who shows promise and creativity and will be chosen through a stringent selection process.
