Dr Abdul Rehman Vanoo, who is elected as the General Secretary of Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation, is a man of integrity, hard work, and excellence. He is the General Secretary from 2018.He always had a vision to uplift and upgrade the technicians of the Hindi film industry and he has taken huge efforts in that direction. It is well known how the lockdown and the pandemic has proved to be very tough for the daily wage workers like Spot Boys, Lightmen, Art department staff, and technicians in the film world. Dr Vanoo was responsible for sending daily essentials and money to the needy during this period even in the outskirts of Mumbai areas like Virar and Palghar.He said, "The industry is not filled with just actors, producers, writers, and directors. While the spotlight is always on them in most award functions, we feel that the technicians including spot boys, cameramen, and lakhs of people who work for their daily wages on the sets are also contributing to making a film and the final product. So, we made sure that they do not suffer during this period. We supplied daily essentials to them in various parts of Mumbai."Dr Vanoo has also helped the Mumbai Police and provided them with essentials during the lockdown. The Mumbai Police had set up a quarantine centre in Kalina, Santacruz East and Dr Vanoo helped in providing many services to them. Borivali, Dharavi, and many other areas have been provided with daily essentials by Dr Vanoo'sorgsation.He said, "Many people lost their jobs and we decided to give them work and food. And this was not only restricted to Mumbai. We provided these facilities and daily essentials to Delhi, Pune and many other cities in India. We also researched on how people deal with mental health during the lockdown. And in addition, we also continue to maintain healthcare facilities and provide jobs to daily wage workers. The government is also giving us good support."The daily wage workers of Dadasaheb Foundation were also badly affected. Dr Vanoo said, "We took a huge list of addresses of these workers and provided them with food, daily essentials, groceries, and medical support to the entire staff. Nalasopara, Mira Road, and many other areas, we transported daily essential services. Since we were working with Mumbai Police, we had a pass to travel to different areas and therefore, a big thanks to the Mumbai Police department, since we could use this pass in helping others."In addition, Dr Vanoo is also working towards uplifting and upgrading the skills of these technicians. He said, "Most of these workers have come to the city to earn their daily bread. They are not educated. So, we motivate them to study further and make them self-reliant. We also encourage them to learn special skills, which in turn would help them in the filmmaking process. I feel this is important for the people of our country and the film industry." http://drarvanoo.com/This story is provided by BusinessWire India. will not be responsible in any way for the content of this article.
