Plot: Dr. Sambit, a young and dedicated doctor, finds himself assigned to Jampali, an underdeveloped village in the Balangir district of Western Odisha. Though initially reluctant, he takes up the challenge. However, upon witnessing the multitude of problems plaguing the village such as poor healthcare, blind superstitions, regressive practices, and a backward culture, he is deeply moved.
Driven by a strong desire for change and progress, Dr. Sambit takes it upon himself to educate the villagers and lead them towards development. Unfortunately, there are some who oppose him and even label him as an enemy of the village. But amidst these challenges, he finds support from the village Sarpanch, the compassionate social worker Sonali, and a handful of other villagers who believe in his cause.
Undeterred by the opposition, Dr. Sambit perseveres in his mission. Slowly but steadily, he manages to change people's perceptions, proving that he is not an enemy, but rather a true friend of the village. In time, the efforts of Dr. Sambit bear fruit, and the villagers come to appreciate the positive impact he has brought to their lives.
