CMS VATAVARAN - India's only International Environment & Wildlife Film Festival and Forum.

CMS VATAVARAN is an outcome of CMS' core commitment to go "beyond research" (www.cmsindia.org). The rich experience of CMS in environmental issues & developmental communication and the urge for "Beyond Research" - a commitment to perform the role of a practitioner of its own research, sowed the seeds of CMS VATAVARAN - India's only International Environment & Wildlife Film Festival and Forum.

Though it is aimed at sensitising people about their rich environmental heritage and the need to conserve it, CMS VATAVARAN is not just a film festival celebrating the cinematic art of films but focuses more on using the films as a tool and catalyst for creating impact. CMS VATAVARAN remains resolute to encourage environment films and forums resulting change in perception, practice and policy. www.cmsvatavaran.org
