Pathshala South Asian Media Institute is the early school of Photography in the South Asian region, which offers various short-term and long-term educational programs, including workshops and presentations in photography and multimedia journalism throughout the year. The institute not only allows students to explore the world of image making but provides them opportunities to question beyond the confines of the discipline. Pathshala started in 1998. Since then, the institution has slowly grown to become a fully-fledged photography educational institution based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Despite the wealth of media talent that exists in the region, not to mention its potpourri of cultural heritage, there is currently still a significant dearth of infrastructure for proper training in photography, television and film. Although some very fine photographers and videographers have emerged in spite of this, they have all either settled overseas or work in overseas agencies. For this reason their work is hardly seen locally. There is little scope of involving their expertise in order to train our aspiring visual storytellers. A need for such a regional organization was acutely felt, particularly at the grass-root level.
