Synopsis

Set across the length and breadth of India, Building India From Its Roots is a cinematic journey through the unseen side of rural India - the one that rarely makes the headlines. The film traces ten years of the HCLTech Grant, an initiative that has empowered communities through education, healthcare, and environmental innovation. From a health worker in Nagaland ensuring safe births, to fishermen in Kerala restoring life to the ocean, to children in Kashmir learning peace, each story captures resilience, collaboration, and the quiet revolution unfolding in India’s villages. Through real people, authentic locations, and a soundscape woven with regional music, the film celebrates a decade of grassroots transformation and the belief that true nation-building begins at the roots.
