Foundation of a great industrial future for India.

Stressing the need for civic sense this documentary pleads for better understanding of other people's problems and the sharing of amenities and services offered by society. This film revolves round a man whose every action is motivated by selfish interests, which ultimately lands him in an unfortunate situation.

A nation's culture is a measure of its maturity. Culture, however is a living reality and our daily lives reflect in how we behave towards one another. This film approaches this subject and emphasises the need for consideration of others, which is the best foundation for good manners.

Our achievements since Independence are great enough to sustain our faith in our country's future. Some of these are the river valley projects, the irrigation schemes, the production locomotives and aircraft. But there are some people who decry every new idea and scheme. This film shows the damage caused by loose and irresponsible talk and highlights the need for active participation in the building up of our country.

This documentary highlights the achievements of India in the political, economic, and international fields since she attained Independence. The framing of her Constitution, the integration of the States and the general elections, the rehabilitation of displaced persons, the river valley projects, and the setting up of a chain of National Laboratories are some of the achievements shown here.

First Indian animated film in color, based on a tale from the Buddhist Jatakas.
