Ø Budget Grants Needed for Animation & Gaming industries
Ø Animation Academies should be established
Ø Gaming Courses should be introduced at University Levels
Ø Special Animation & Gaming Policy Needed

Hyderabad, February 23: There have been drastic changes taking place in the Animation & Gaming industry since 2006. The reasons for these changes are: Changes in the tastes and thoughts of people, Low cost in human resource, and availability of specialists.

ü Since Animation & Gaming industry is a field of entertainment,at this moment it is very required to pass a special policy, independent to that of IT sector. This policy should include facilities like Special exemptions, Tax holiday (for 10 years), allotment of lands for industrial establishments etc. These facilities help to reduce the cost of gaming property creation,man power, gaining rights, so that it is possible for the industry to sustain and to develop at a very good rate.

ü As per NASSCOM expectations, Animation & Gaming industry requires more professionals in coming years. Keeping this in view,if government establishes Animation academies and introduce Gaming courses at University levels, the students can lay golden routes for their career by choosing this field. The Companies can also provide abundant job opportunities by conducting campus interviews. This system is already being implemented in countries like Great Britain, Canada, Philippines etc.

ü Gaming console market can progress rapidly with low cost if the government brings down the import duties on Gaming console, hardware and software.
