the minister for education.

Baburam chaudhary,

the minister for education.

Namaskar.

It's great to see that you go

for a run in the morning, sir.

No wonder that even the college

is in such terrific shape.

What has your nephew scored?

His score is low.

But, in any case, no one in our family

ever managed to score above 40%.

But all thanks to k.k. Coaching...

they made him slog

at memorising everything...

and he scored 52.07%.

I'm sorry but i can't help you.

Don't say that, sir.

Please don't say that.

He is my sister's only son.

He doesn't want anything except s.t.m.

If you'll kindly excuse me...

i have some things

to take care of.

Aniruddha, please look after him.

Sir, just listen to me.

Oh! So this is where you run

your private coaching.

But why are you taking

classes in your backyard?

I have lots of space

in my commercial complex.

You can hold your classes there.

Your name will attract the students.

You can mint money.

Mr. Minister, our college

pays good salaries.

Moreover, we are not allowed

to give private tuitions outside.

You mean all this is for free?

Please come...

have i upset him?

Don't worry, sir.

I'll speak with him.

You advise people to

pay for admission outside.

Why not have that system

in your college?

Mr. Minister, you?

You should've sent for me.

Damodar seth...

you are a senior trustee at s.t.m.

For years, i have got you

contracts worth millions...

from the education department.

And yet, you can't get

my nephew admitted?

That's precisely the problem.

The principal controls

the admissions completely.

So that's a 'no'?

If the boy's grade is low,

take money for the admission.

Why are you ruining his career?

Moreover, the college is losing millions.

What sort of education is this?

Don't worry.

How can i not?

My nephew's career is at stake.

I'll have the chief minister call

the founder member shakuntala thakralji.

The chief minister began

his political career through her party.

Your principal

won't be able to refuse her.

Sir, shakuntala quit everything worldly

to live in an ashram in hrishikesh.

There's no way to contact her.

Listen, don't worry.

I'll take care of your nephew's admission.

I just had a word with the chairman.

At the next board meeting,

we'll cut the principal down to size.

Appoint your own man there,

damodar seth.

It will work wonders.

There's no business like education!

Paid service - without guarantee.

Students will pay the fees through their noses

and then be responsible for their own results.

You've reduced the trustees to nothing

more than a rubber-stamp, principal sir.

Damodarji, the agenda...

you have admitted 11 students with 52-55%,

just because they are "underprivileged".

But, you won't accept a

single recommendation of ours.

Damodarji, no one is rejected.

All applications are

still under consideration.

According to me,

they should be rejected.

Will you kindly enlighten us, why?

The 11 students you mention have

studied under very difficult circumstances...

without any facilities or coaching classes

and yet managed to get those scores.

If you compare them to the children of ministers,

bureaucrats and rich families...

who have access to good teachers,

schools, facilities and coaching classes...

and yet score only 52.07%...

pray tell, how

i can consider them as deserving.

Should you ever recommend

a weak but deserving student...

i shall never disappoint you.

That was one fine speech, principal sir.

But s.t. M belongs to

a private trust created to...

help the children of

our caste come up in life.

For the poor and the backward castes

there's the government.

Forgive me, damodarji.

Your views are fatal for

the principles of s.t.m.

S.t.m. Was established

with the sole purpose to offer...

the best possible education

to every deserving student...

regardless of caste,

religion, class or community.

But, if you people have decided to

go against that purpose...

i regret to say,

i can't be with you anymore.

Prabhakarji, our views

are no different from yours.

Damodar is merely saying that

the trustee quota should be respected.

Noted.

The next proposal is to...

appoint a permanent vice principal

to replace kamta prasad.

Excuse me, but why do

we have to decide on this now?

Kamta prasad is still there.

Moreover, dinkar paswan is doing thatjob.

Prabhakarji...

surely you don't intend to...

appoint dinkar paswan as

the permanent vice principal?

There are other teachers more senior

and more qualified than him.

I propose that dr. Mithilesh singh

will be most suitable as the vice principal.

Highly qualified and dedicated.

I support the recommendation fully.

Please call him in here.

Ok.

Come in, mithileshji.

It's our pleasure to appoint you

as the new vice principal of s.t.m.

I...

will try my best to not disappoint you.

Congratulations.

I'm certain that i will continue

to receive your co-operation.

Trust me.

Thank you very much for my nephew's

admission mr. Vice principal.

All i want is your blessings.

Now you just watch

how we take you to great heights.

How many coaching centres

do you operate currently, mithilesh?

Seven, sir.

What if we raise that to 27?

Excuse me?

The minister will set up k.k. Coaching centers

in all his commercial complexes.

And then in every district.

I already have a plan for a university

on my 110 acres on agra road.

This is the saraswati centre of education!

World class - medical, commerce,

engineering, i.t.

Every bloody subject!

The investment will be

to the tune of 12 billion rupees.

Time for you to establish

a business empire of education.

Consider it done.

By god's grace.

Within a year we'll

list it on the stock market.

And then get at least 50 billion

from the public!

God is great!

What are you doing here?

I'm asking you!

I am putting my knowledge

of science to good use.

And who will attend the

engineering college classes?

I missed out on the admission

by a mere 1%.

But your name was in the merit list!

Yes, i was the last one in the merit list.

But the complicated policy of

reservation denied me my rightful seat.

My life is ruined.

Relax, pandit.

Even if you didn't get

admission into engineering...

life is meaningless!

It's either engineering or

i'll sweep the streets!

No, but...

where did you get these?

Sleeping pills?

Are you planning to commit suicide?

This guy is dangerous!

He'll send us to prison.

Don't let him get away.

What's the meaning of this?

You can'tjust barge in like that.

Sorry sir, but this is urgent.

We are students of s.t.m.

I am principal prabhakar's daughter.

Oh. How can i help you?

Injustice!

I mean, you can stop this injustice.

He had the last spot

on the admission list.

However, since a backward caste

candidate scored higher...

he was bumped off the list.

I can't do anything about it.

It's just bad luck.

Bad luck?

Sir, his life will be destroyed.
