AYDARI (Rights)

This is a story of a main protagonist Dr. Somray Soren, a social activist and a Doctorate in Societal issues. His main aim is to connect the villages to the mainstream society as it will help in the development of our country. He strongly believes that the policymakers are the main decision makers in the development process and so selecting the right candidate through voting is the only way. To make this possible he goes door to door explaining the importance of voting and resolving any issues or doubts, convincing them to cast their vote compulsorily. Later in the story he convinces a group of young kids from going to Tamilnadu for labour work to stay back and cast their vote by explaining their rights and responsibilities and how voting for right candidate will bring opportunities in their own place and don't need to go anywhere. He also explains why voting is important for all our purposes. Through this short film the protagonist beautifully puts forward the strong point that " To get our rights, casting vote is important. Your Vote, Your Development, You are the building blocks of your Country."
