Eleven months after appointing actor Anupam Kher as the chairman of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry has nominated the 12 remaining members for the FTII Society. The nominated members include actors Danny Denzongpa, Divya Dutta, Kangana Ranaut, Arvind Swamy, singers Anup Jalota and Yesudas and academician Archana Rakesh Singh, among others. he Society, headed by the FTII chairman, has 12 nominees, of whom eight are nominated under the `persons of eminence` category while four are FTII alumnus. The Ministry usually nominates the members while appointing the institute chairman, but it had deviated from this tradition when Kher was appointed in October 2017. “The fresh nominations completes the 24-member FTII Society, which comprises 12 ex-officio members and 12 nominees, who come from the field of art and culture. The tenure of the society is three years. Due to the delay in the nominations, the members will get only 18 months to do their work, as their tenure started from March 2017.
