The chief minister congratulated the director, Nirmal Chander Dandriyal, and said the film is based on the life of Vidyadutt, a farmer living in the state’s Pauri Garhwal region.

The film, Rawat said, will inspire youths to stay in their villages and work for their communities. “It will help stop migrations from remote areas,” he said.
