<br />
The film debunks the Indian government's adult literacy program of ''[[Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan]]''. It is an adaptation of Ramesh Ingale Utradkar's novel of the same name.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
In the quaint village of Savargaon,[[Buldhana district|Buldana]] [[Maharashtra]], the efforts of six male and female teachers to kickstart an adult literacy program are met with unexpected hurdles. Despite their determination, both reluctant participants and teachers stand in the way of progress, threatening the initiative's success. <br />
<br />
However, with the ingenious intervention of the headmaster, teachers, and the benevolent support of villagers, a plan is hatched. Dukre Guruji, a volunteer with a knack for creative problem-solving. Together, they concoct a scheme to stage a faux adult literacy class, complete with dummy students—secretly literate villagers masquerading as learners.<br />
<br />
As the plot unfolds, the village becomes a stage for hilarity and wit, showcasing the absurdity of the situation while delivering a poignant social message on the importance of literacy. Through laughter and light-hearted moments, the film sheds light on the challenges faced by rural communities in accessing education and the ingenious ways in which they navigate such obstacles.<br />
<br />
Ultimately, the movie emerges not only as a comedy but also as a touching tribute to the resilience and resourcefulness of communities striving for a brighter, more literate future.<br />
