NATIONAL CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR ANIMATION, GAMING, VFX &

COMICS AN INTRODUCTION
With a vision to develop training capacity for animation and gaming Industry in India, Ministry of
Information & Broadcasting (MoIB) has proposed to set up National Centre of Excellence in training for
Animation, Gaming & VFX. PricewaterhouseCoopers has been engaged as consultants to prepare
detailed project report, for setting up the proposed institute. As part of this study, PwC has conducted
several stakeholder meetings/discussion with the institutes, industry experts and studying the publicly
available information. The recommendations are taking into account the unique nature of the Industry
and win-win situation for all stakeholders.
Animation, Visual effects, Gaming and Comics (AVGC) sector in India has seen an impressive growth
over the past few years. The AVGC sector is conservatively estimated to be around INR 39.7 billion in
2013, with a growth of 12.4 per cent in the year 2014.
However, India is losing quality work to other neighbouring nations such as Malaysia, China,
Philippines and Korea due to inadequate supply of trained workforce and lack of structured policy It is
in this context that the budget announcement made by the Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley on 10th
July 2014 that a National Centre for Excellence (NCoE) in Animation, Gaming and Special effects will
be soon set up was welcomed by the Industry Stakeholders. After several rounds of industry
consultation and discussion with the Ministry, a conceptual PPP model for establishment of NCoE has
been evolved

KEY OBJECTIVES

The objective of the project NCoE is to build a national centre of excellence to impart world
class education at affordable fee structure in Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics and
create a world class talent pool in India to cater the Indian industry and global players as well.

To build a national Centre of Excellence to impart world class education at affordable fee
structure in Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics and create a world class talent pool

organization.

To create a benchmark for the other institutes in this field to follow. To build a Research &
Development program at the NCoE for AVGC sector.
3

To create techno-creative labs and tie-ups with technology majors to make it reference site for
the industry.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

MESC seeks proposal from reputed consulting firms to undertake the task/ job of preparation of
DPR for setting up the National Centre of Excellence for Animation, Gaming, Visual Effects &
Comics as per the scope given in this RFP document.

PROJECT SCOPE & BRIEF

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MoIB) is the nodal Ministry of Government of India
(GoI) for formulation and administration of the rules & regulations and laws relating to information,
broadcasting, the press and films. The Ministry, through mass communication and media consisting of
radio, television, films, the press, publications, advertising and traditional modes of information
dissemination (like dance and drama) plays a significant part in helping in the free flow of information.
MoIB also undertakes various initiatives on behalf of the GoI to encourage the development of media
and communication industry in the country. With advances in technology and recent boom in the
Information and Communication Technologies(ICT) in the country, various new segments are emerging
in the entertainment and media sectors. Emergence and growth of animation, gaming and visual effect
based segments of entertainment industry is a prime example for this. This emerging animation, gaming
and visual effect sector offers a multi-million dollar opportunity both in terms of opportunity for global
outsourcing as well as the hitherto partially tapped domestic information and entertainment market.
While a handful of public and private colleges are offering courses in animation & gaming, however
these institutes either lack capacity or structured/well defined curriculum. Hence, there is a gap between
the growing demand for skilled professionals in the industry and the availability of these skills.
To assist the Ministry in identifying manpower and skill sets requirement parameters and scenario for
this industry, PwC undertook a comprehensive study wherein assessment of the skill requirements for
the Indian Animation and Gaming industry was conducted. The gap between requirements and
availability (quantitative and qualitative) was analyzed and thereafter, a set of recommendations was
developed in consultation with the stakeholders.

Primary research (surveys) of the companies, training institutes, students and professionals were
conducted to understand various aspects of manpower issues and opportunities in the sector.
While a multitude of privately run institutes offer courses in this sector, only a handful of Government
run colleges offer these courses. It was observed that the animation and the Visual effects have been
hitherto addressed as a software activity, which shifts the focus of the training of students to software
based; which, to some extent, is governed by the demand for teaching software skills which again is
linked to the misconceptions about this industry being software driven. The various institutes providing
the training courses for the development of such skill do not follow any industry recommended standard
curriculum.
As a part of the recommendations of previous study, different options were considered to address the
demand and supply gap in the Industry including enhancing the existing educational facilities or settingup of new educational facilities. In case of a new set-up, the advantages of public-private-partnership
model for setting up of an academic institute have been explored. It was recommended that a National
Centre of Excellence should be setup to address the needs of the Industry.
Taking this to the next level, MoIB is looking for a partner for Preparation of Detailed Project Report
