The Television Wing was shifted from Mandi House, New Delhi to the Institute Campus at Pune during the early seventies so as to bring training in film and television under a common roof - and this justifies the name of the institute - Film and Television Institute of
India. The Television wing is primarily concerned with conducting in-service training to personnel from
Doordarshan.
