But things start moving ahead in the plot only when the education department holds out a big carrot: If the school manages to perform a miracle by getting into one of the top ten schools in Delhi based on the tenth standard board examinations results, then both the principal and his wife get to go to Cambridge University for an all-expenses paid training course. It is not because of any newly acquired idealism that Gyaneshwar suddenly gets motivated; it is because of an emotional need to provide his suffering wife, Sushma (Prachee Shah), the opportunity of a foreign visit. For doing the impossible, he needs to motivate a bunch of imperfect, underpaid teachers and deal with the constant interference of a local politician, Goldy (Deven Bhojani), and his vengeful assistant, Urmila (Archana Puran Singh).
