PRAMOD MATHUR has devoted over 30 years to communication through television. Extensive travel to the remotest parts of the country has imbued his work with sensitivity to crucial national issues. And helped evolve a style of documentary presentation which is candid, true, non-intrusive and close to grass-root reality.

After undergoing a post-graduate course in journalism, Pramod Mathur's career began with hard-core exposure under the erstwhile international TV news Agency, Visnews (now Reuters). He traveled for six long weeks in the midst of the Bangladesh war and its aftermath. It was an experience that shaped his attitude towards capturing humanity on film and video.

The early years were devoted to news and features on a wide spectrum of issues --- politics, development, science, culture. During this period, he also participated in establishing a school of journalism in Delhi, the Dateline School of Journalism, which was the stepping-stone for many well-known journalists of today.

It has been a long journey in the world of documentaries -- from the time he made a 70-mt 35 mm film on the status of the tribes of Gujarat...moving on to other films on the lover-god Krishna, the Family Planning Programme of India, the environmentally-conscious Bishnoi community, the Reservation policy based on caste, the Himalayan Chipko movement to save trees, the remote world of the Idu Mishmi tribe in North-east India and so on.

Over the years, Pramod Mathur has been associated in various capacities of Field Producer, Director and Director of Cinematography with premier international organizations. Like ZDF, Tellux in Germany, UNEP in Switzerland, Columbia Pictures Television Division, the TV Division of the National Geographic Society, USA among others.
