# Pt. Raghunath Academy of Santali Cinema and Art

Pandit Raghunath Murmu Academy of Santali Cinema & Art ('RASCA', Santali :meaning Joy), is a cine academy based in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India. It is formed to promote and develop Santali films across the state.

## Activities

This academy classes are provided to the students in acting & dancing primarily along with technical education of film equipments along with guest lectures.
Surya Singh Besra, the director of RASCA announced the launch of santali film awards, at a meeting held on February 3, 2008. RASCA's major achievement is that it arranges an award programme for Santali Films each year on 5 May, in which persons related to Santali Films are awarded with certificates, trophies and cash.
The first award ceremony was held on 5 May 2008, at XLRI Auditorium, Jamshedpur.
Award programme was not organised in the year 2009 due to parliamentary elections, & in 2010 due to inadequate number films for nominations, which broke the continuity of organising the award programme each year.

## RASCA Award Ceremony 2008

This was the maiden award ceremony organised by RASCA, & was held on 5 May 2008, at XLRI Auditorium, Jamshedpur.

## RASCA Award Ceremony 2011

2nd RASCA Award was organised in 2011 after a gap of 2 yrs, which became the starting point of continuity, for organising the award programme each year. The award programme was held at Michael John Auditorium, Bistupur.
