In a remote tribal region, young Bheru dreams of bringing electricity to his isolated hilltop home. Struggling with the lack of conventional power sources, he stumbles upon hope when he witnesses a solar lantern in the city.

Against all odds, his perseverance pays off, and the once dark house atop the hill now radiates with the transformative light of solar energy, symbolizing the triumph of hope and renewable possibilities in the face of adversity.
