Noida Film City, India: In a landmark development for media education in India, Asian Academy of Film and Television (AAFT) unveiled a fully loaded and well-equipped Outside Broadcasting (OB) Van for advanced student training at Marwah Studios. The grand inauguration took place on 12th February – International Journalism Day, during the prestigious Global Festival of Journalism & AVGC Noida 202
This state-of-the-art OB Van, equipped with advanced production consoles, multi-camera setups, live switching systems, audio engineering panels, satellite communication technology, and real-time broadcasting facilities, marks a historic milestone.

Dr. Marwah further emphasized that celebrating International Journalism Day with such a transformative addition reinforces AAFT’s commitment to innovation in media education and its continuous effort to create world-class infrastructure for young aspirants. The OB Van will now be integrated into live event coverage, sports broadcasting simulations, news production exercises, and field reporting assignments, giving students invaluable on-ground experience.
The inauguration was met with tremendous appreciation from media professionals, international delegates, faculty members, and students attending the festival, reaffirming AAFT’s position as a pioneer in media and entertainment education in India. With this historic launch, AAFT once again sets a benchmark in practical media training, strengthening Noida Film City’s reputation as a leading global center for creative and broadcast excellence.
