The introductory episode establishes the community as a place that carries a lot of love for its residents, but also a space that is challenged with unhygienic conditions, and poverty. One of the protagonists of the series, Mahesh, brings forth the idea of forming a committee to collectively solve the community’s issues. He faces a lot of resistance and even insults, but he perseveres.
The episode begins with the formation of the committee and introduces the first step towards effective management- i.e. a Participatory Mapping exercise. In this episode, the community performs their first participatory map, realizes that infrastructure problems and their causes, and start working towards solutions for them.
The young members of the community realize the important part they play in their own progress, but also feel overwhelmed by the scale of the problem. They come together to try to understand what is the one thing that they can all work together on and will make the most difference to the lives of the people they care about. The episode highlights the use of tools like mindfulness and visualization to understand your power.
The committee takes a major step toward formalizing its role as a representative of the community. The members of the community are able to advocate for the construction of a community toilet in the settlement and are able to overrule a corrupt person that was illegally blocking the proposal. The urban local body also takes cognizance of the existence of the committee and advices it to formalize itself.
Now that the community toilet has been approved, the community comes together to conduct a Participatory Design for the toilet. In the film this is done organically, with the community members playing a game about how the toilet should look and what they each need in a good toilet. This comes together in the form of tangible needs that a community would have from a toilet, such a larger cubicles for women, hooks on doors, and child friendly locks and seats.
Now that the toilet is built, someone needs to maintain it. In this episode the community realizes that they need to take on the work themselves, and engage their own community’s SHG to conduct the cleaning of the community toilet
The committee realizes that there are some people that are using the new facilities carelessly, leaving taps open, and leaving toilets dirty. They decide to conduct a street play to spread the message of how a toilet should be used, and also build some consensus around the need for the toilet.
As the lockdown sets in the community struggles to find food and work. The committee is able to get in touch with the municipal corporation and arrange for permission to start a community kitchen. That then leads to more support coming into the community.
Not all good things last. As the lockdowns end, the priorities of the world change and multiple key members leave the committee. The youngest member is left with all the responsibility and suddenly needs lead. She makes mistakes, leading to a loss of faith from the whole community. The records and documentation maintained, however, make it possible for her to recover from this, and even find an innovative solution to the need for livelihood. The story also marks the beginning of the committee starting a new initiative of educating the next generation through e-learning tools. The episode uses a Jataka-style parable to explain what the story of the committee is really about.
