    The Indian film industry is an integral part of the Indian socio-economic psyche and the

    most popular source of entertainment in the country. Indian film industry was conferred

    Industry Status in the year 2000 and is mainly private funded. Indian Film industry is the

    world's biggest film industry in terms of the number of movies produced and released in a

    year. In 2004, there were 934 films certified across, with Hindi accounting for 245 of

    them. The total number of admissions (people attending movies) is almost over 3 billion,

    which is almost double the US markets and three times that of the rest of Asia.

    The Indian film industry comprises of a cluster of regional film industries, like Hindi,

    Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali etc. This makes it one of the most complex

    and fragmented national film industries in the world.

    8. Rural InitiativesExim Bank believes that there is a strong linkage between export development and

    poverty reduction. For a country like India, with a large (70%) rural population, creation

    of export capability in rural grassroot enterprise is a must. Globalisation will besuccessful and acceptable only if benefits reach the rural population. Rural enterprises

    suffer from various handicaps including image, quality, capacity, packaging, delivery,

    etc. NGOs and SHGs are the front for rural enterprises. Through proper guidance and

    support, rural grassroot enterprises can access the global market and realize better prices

    for their products thereby contributing to poverty reduction. Exim Bank's experience in

    working with NGOs/SHGs and rural enterprises is encouraging. Exim Bank, leveraging

    its presence in both India as well as overseas, is facilitating linkage between rural

    grassroot enterprises and corporates and with overseas buyers and agencies with the

    objective of bringing the benefits of globalisation to the rural population.
