Seventeen-yea-old documentary filmmaker Rhea Bakshi’s was presented with the ‘Young Achievers’ Award’ by the Indian Achievers’ Forum. This distinction was awarded in recognition of her documentary ‘India’s Treasures’ which was earlier in the year awarded with the finalist laurels at New York International Film Awards.
Said Rhea, a Class 12 economics student: “I am grateful to the award jury of the Indian Achievers’ Forum that has bestowed me with this distinct honour and responsibility. It’s like living a dream! My journey with filmmaking started with a mission to demonstrate the irreplaceable value of Indian craftsmanship and the need to celebrate it on a global scale. The focal point for this film was inspired from Prime Minister’s Narendra Modiji’s mission of inclusive economic growth, which I believe is critical to realise the vision of making India the world’s third-largest economy.”
