The needs and wants of the people have been increasing at an alarming rate. For the overall development of society and individuals, people must actively participate in the endeavor for community empowerment. It creates healthy relations and also emphasizes the priorities of work to be done. The article aims to show the significance of teamwork or collective efforts of individuals in achieving Community development. Manjhi: The Mountain Man, a biopic by Ketan Mehta is taken as a primary source in elucidating the concept. The movie voices the concerns of the Dalit communities and aims at their reformation. It is uplifting not just for the Dalit communities but a lesson to all the members of society. The movie showcases the power of an individual to resolve the needs of the community and ultimately inspire the whole village as a unit to engage in the same.
