Nanda School of Tradition

A coming-of-age journey of an inherent minimalist, who struggles to preserve one of India’s last traditional open-air schools called Chatasali. This delves into the life of a mystic teacher, centenarian Nanda Prusty, an ordinary Indian villager who gave free education to the poor for more than 70 years. Transforming from an actor to a teacher, Prusty’s narrative extends across three generations, marked by his unwavering commitment to selflessly serve his village on a profound spiritual path. Just before his unexpected death, at the age of 103, he eventually came to limelight after receiving Padma Shri, India’s prominent civilian award.
