POWER REQUIREMENT OF THE INFOTHELA WOULD CHANGE ONCE THE DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT IS PURCHASED. FOR MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATIONS,GRAPHICS AND ANIMATIONS TAKE TOO MUCH TIME TO DEVELOP AND WITH THE LIMITED MANPOWER AVAILABLE IT IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO MEET SCHEDULES. COULD WE CONSIDER MAKING SHORT VIDEO FILMS? AUDIO RECORDING AT THE TVC HAS NOT BEEN OF THE EXPECTED QUALITY. THEY CANNOT PROVIDE THE FACILITY AT THE PACE THAT WE NEED. WE NEED TO CREATE A SMALL FACILITY OF OUR OWN.
