A developing country like India with human resource as its biggest capital needs to inspire its youth to take the country ahead on the road to development and progress. To ensure the growth of a country, its people need to be skilled in their vocations in order to contribute to the process of making a strong country. Education ensures the development of a fine mind that lends itself to a country’s future.

The inspiration to learn comes from the leaders of a nation, people with the vision for the future of an entire people. These leaders make a lasting impression on the children of the country and inspire them to go and soak themselves in knowledge that leads to ‘creativity, thinking and growth’.

Music

The film is set to a song, ‘School Chale Hum’ that motivates children across the country to run to school every day. Upbeat and alive like the freshness of the morning when they wake up to go to school, the children run to the rhythm of the school bell that beckons them to school. The lyrics of the song explore the process of going to school in the morning and inspire the young mind with what can be achieved there.

Visual

As dawn breaks, the Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee bids the children of India off to school. Children from all over India get dressed to go to school. The Kashmiri girl glides on the lakes in a shikara towards school, the Ladakhi boys jump over ridges and run down narrow lanes to be there on time. Girls in South India run across green fields while a mother in Rajasthan bids her children goodbye. The look of hope, cheer and excitement at what would come ahead is stamped on all these faces.

The children run to school and arrive just in time for their lessons, their eyes bright with the wonder of new learning, scribbling in their notebooks what is already etched in their minds. As the day progresses, they strive harder and work energetically to become the dependable shoulders on whom the country shall rest in the future. Finally, after a hard day’s work, they listen to President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam about why they go to school and deliver his message to everybody along with him.
