The Press Information Bureau in Kohima organized a 'Varta' meeting to discuss the World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit (WAVES) 2025 in Mumbai. The summit intends to globally promote India's cultural heritage using modern media tools and establish India as a key player in the global content market.

The Press Information Bureau (PIB) in Kohima has convened a 'Varta' meeting aimed at media professionals to disseminate insights into the forthcoming World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit (WAVES) 2025. Scheduled for May 1-4, 2025, in Mumbai, the summit will see participation from nations worldwide.

At the meeting on Monday, Soni Kumar, Assistant Director of PIB Kohima, highlighted that WAVES aims to use modern technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital media to showcase India's rich cultural traditions and heritage. Despite limited public awareness, the Indian government is heavily promoting the event. Media outlets nationwide are covering the event, though logistical issues barred representation from Nagaland.
