New Delhi, 2 May, 2020: Raghvendra Singh, CEO DMCS, Ministry of Culture, Government of India launched a film today, titled ‘ A Ray of Genius‘ to mark the beginning of the centenary celebrations of Satyajit Ray.

With Pather Panchali (Song of the Road), Indian cinema was launched on the world stage. The Development of Museums and Cultural Spaces, Ministry of Culture, is delighted to present ‘A Ray of Genius’ as a tribute to the versatility of Satyajit Ray, motion-picture director, writer and illustrator.
