ACHIEVEMENTS OF RONKEL BECAUSE OF DHI APPROACH

Based on our findings of almost 20 years of research on developing an ideal approach (which we later named DHI), we established Ronkel Media education & Research Institute on 14th February, 2014 to provide high quality and effective education in the creative arts and entertainment industry.In the field of creative arts where it is the popular belief that someone has to be god gifted to be successful, we took the challenge heads on and using DHI approach devised a course curriculum which can make anyone an artist or a Writer or a filmmaker or whatever that person’s interest area is. DHI Approach has a huge role to play in this. Because of this approach only, we could fulfill the dreams of so many young dreamers and aspirants across all parts of the country. Because of the availability of such courses, now interested individuals feel secure and confident. They know that now they can train themselves in a systematic way and groom themselves to become what they have been long aspiring for.

Over the years, we have successfully trained many students across all age groups and gender who were first timers. They just had passion and interest. Most of them were even doubtful about their abilities. With DHI approach, we could successfully infuse talent in them. Today they are confident and successfully working in the entertainment industry.

Making one person creative might be the single most challenging job in this planet. Because there is no prescribed book or a single definitive method which can give you desired results. However, the DHI approach made it all easy for us. What seems unbelievable and impossible for others, it’s a work of few seconds for our faculties. One single instruction of our faculties has changed people’s lives dramatically.

Year after year, the DHI approach is making us even stronger at our job. We are getting more confident and feel blessed that we are able to keep the dreams of so many Indians alive and empower them to fulfill it.

• Ronkel Media Education and Research Institute became the first media institute in India to go into partnership with an International University. UK based 175-year-old Birmingham City University has not only appreciated Ronkel’s approach but also incorporated Ronkel’s film Shuddhi in its course curriculum.
• World’s Best Actor, Sir Daniel Day Lewis, who is the one and only actor in history of world cinema to win 3 Best Actor Oscar Awards, appreciated Ronkel for its approach towards media education. He even presented his favourite book with a personal note in it.
• We were prominently featured in India Today, Outlook, The Hindu , by many highly reputed national and international newspapers and magazines.
• We could devise a never before seen creative education pedagogy which transformed people’s lives beyond their imagination and belief.
• Our training approach caught the attention of many veterans and has been hugely appreciated by multiple national award winning filmmakers; to name a few: Shyam Benegal (Padma Bhushan, 19 National Film Awards), Girish Kasaravalli (Padmashri, 14 National Film Awards), Raj Kumar Hirani (4 National Film Awards), P. Sheshadri (9 National Film Awards), T. S. Nagabharana (8 National Film Awards), Mahesh Bhatt (5 National Film Awards), Rajendra Singh Babu (3 National Film Awards), R. Balki (2 National Film Awards) and many more.

To utilize the approach in field of media and entertainment, we established Ronkel Brothers Production on 2012. In 115 odd years of cinema history, where so many films have already been made, so many experiments have already been done worldwide, with DHI approach we were still able to create history in each and every aspect of filmmaking and that too with each of our projects. Even in this highly competitive and challenging profession, we have been able to carve a niche for ourselves globally.

It is not just about the creative aspect of our films that bring us accolades, it is also about the sheer societal impact that our films caused gives us a special place in the 115 years of history of world cinema. As a production house, we have been constantly making and using cinema as a catalyst of societal change and nation building. Our films have triggered paradigm shift in many subjects which has long been caged by the narrow mindedness and prejudiced mindset of the society. Each of our films has always given due credits to the unsung heroes of our nation. Our films have been revolutionary and a strong catalyst for individual and societal reformation.

Because of our overall approach and pious intent, time and again we have been trusted upon by highly reputed organizations of Government of Indian such as Indian Army, Indian Police, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Defense and many others. Till now, we have 3 Limca Book of Records to our name. We have received 17 honours and special commendations from Government of India and highly decorated officers for our inventive filmmaking in epic depiction of cinema and theatre.

In nutshell, world cinema is and will be incomplete without the mention of our work. It has all been possible because of the DHI approach. DHI approach has enabled us in having a crystal clear vision and acumen in creating, organizing and executing our unique thoughts through our films successfully like no other has done.
