Bhakar said the development is expected to further smoothen the ongoing process of merger of the Films Division and CFSI with the NFDC, which is undergoing "major reforms in its structure and functioning". The "well-defined structuring" of the reformed corporation, in alignment with the requirements of the film industry, would be a "primary item" on his agenda, along with interests of the employees of the departments being merged, he added.
