However, doing the above is not an easy task in Marathi ‘ashram’ schools taking into account the troubles that they face. Considering this, the minister of education, Government of Maharashtra, has initiated the process of delivery of school books to students of such schools.This scheme was particularly initiated considering the large number of students from the NT, ST and SC communities. While meeting students from such schools, their parents and teachers, one comes across their love for education and in some cases some short-comings. This documentary reflects on this and brings before the viewer the struggle that teachers face while imparting education.
