New Delhi: India's foreign ministry on Thursday announced that it has tied up with Air India to make documentary films produced by it, that showcase the country's culture, heritage and history, available on the national airline's in-flight entertainment system.
"Over the last three decades, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has worked with independent film makers to produce a broad range of documentary films. These films are aimed at creating a better understanding of India amongst global audiences," the Ministry said in a media release.
"They have been acclaimed for providing a wide angled and in-depth view of India by focusing on our rich cultural and civilizational values, our democratic and pluralistic society, our secular aspirations, our vibrant economy and on the innovativeness and enterprise of Indians," it added.
India's diplomatic missions around the world have used these documentaries over the years as an important tool of public diplomacy and some recent films have been also screened on international TV channels like Discovery and The History Channel, the Ministry said.
