The S M Khan committee on the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) is expected to present a report to the government tomorrow. The report focuses on the crucial issue of basic problems that FTII faces.


The committee believes that FTII is highly  politicised due to various factors. Congress president Rahul Gandhi's visit to FTII on July 31 (though not mentioned in the report) hints that students who are overstaying in the campus had an ulterior motive.


The government will now study the SM Khan committee report and act on  it. But the removal of Gajendra Chouhan is not a solution apparently.


A highly-placed source in the government believes it is OK to let FTII remain closed for six months. The committee also believes that the hostel  facility of FTII is being misused  by students of the 2008 batch.

Interestingly, the committee found three students living in the hostel with their children!
