Development

In April 2025, Chief Minister of Haryana informed that SUPVA has been given responsibility to mentor all universities of the state to start courses in film making. Additionally, process of appointing a consultant for building a Panchkula Film City on existing 100 acre government land in HMT Kalka is underway, and land for Gurugram Film City is being identified.[8]

Issues

The Film and Television Department has faced prolonged academic delays, affecting multiple student batches, e.g. 2017-2021 4-year batch completed their degrees in 2024, while 2018-2022 batch is expected to graduate by 2025 or 2026 due to the infrastructural deficiencies and lack of proper filmmaking equipment, faculty shortages and administrative mismanagement.[9] Consequently, there have been various protests by students (2016 and 2023),[10] and 2024 Faculty Protests lasting 77 day[11] and 2023 faculty (2025),[12][13] recurrence of which as well as the infrastructural and administrative challenges have disrupted the academic environment, contributing to uncertainty and dissatisfaction among the student body.[9][14][15]
