On a trip to a tribal area he becomes friends with Dhondu and is amazed by how tribal kids study in an open school under a tree in contrast to his well funded city school.
Moved by this, he becomes determined to raise money to build the school for tribal kids. He takes his father into confidence and tries to bolster support for his cause. But doing this will be a test of Bandu’s perseverance as he encounters resistance which only fuels him further.
