Kartik took the initiative to integrate the resources provided to him within the various pre-existing clubs within his institution.
The Nagari Film Screening & Urban Sustainability Dialogue was organised as an experiential academic initiative that used short documentary films to explore themes of urban public spaces, waste management, and water systems. The event aimed to encourage students to critically reflect on how everyday urban decisions shape sustainability, equity, and quality of life, while also introducing films as a tool to understand complex urban issues. It sought to bridge the gap between theoretical planning concepts and lived experiences, promote dialogue on development versus sustainability, and cultivate environmentally and socially responsible design thinking.
The program featured screenings of Through the Dappled Light, focusing on public realms and microclimates; A Work in Progress, addressing construction waste and material reuse; and All Day and All of the Night, highlighting water contamination and access to clean water. The event began with an introduction to the Charles Correa Foundation and the Nagari Film Competition, followed by the screenings. Students then engaged in a guided discussion and team-based debate on whether ecological and human sustainability are being compromised for urban development, and concluded the exercise by submitting individual reflections through a structured survey, making critical reflection the central component of the initiative.
