National Organising Secretary of VijnanaBharati, Jayant Sahasrabudhe, said the holding of the film festival on the specific theme of the role of scientists in the Independence movement was particularly important since a distinguishing feature of the British rule in India was that it sought to establish itself in the country with the help of science and technology and it was essential that the people of the country knew how they did and how several Indian scientists fought against attempts to suppress them.

Vice-Chancellor of MakhanlalChaturvedi National University of Journalism and Communication, Bhopal, K.G.Suresh, and Director General, Films Division of India, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Smita Vats Sharma, emphasised the need to encourage the use of popular media like films to create awareness about aspects like the role played by scientists in the independence movement.

The awards function followed a panel discussion, where jury members, Mukeshkumar of NarseeMonjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS), Mumbai, Dr. ChandramohanNautiyal of Indian National Science Academy, Prof Danish Iqbal of JamiaMiliaIslamia, and Rizwan Ahmed of Maulana Azad National Urdu University welcomed the effort made to hold a special film festival focused on the role of scientists in the independence movement and hoped more such initiatives would take place in coming times.
