; he studied in his childhood. Kranti returns home from Europe, where he meets a school teacher named Sadashivayya. Sadashivayya reveals to Kranti that his school along with various other 12,000 government schools are in trouble from Salatri, a shrewd businessman, who wants to privatise the government schools by issuing government order with the help of corrupt Education minister Vaman Rao and Narasappa, a gangster. After learning this, Kranti wages a revolution against Salatri, Vaman Rao, Narasappa, where he thrashes Narasappa's son Nanjappa, and forcefully closes the private schools in order to seek attention from the Chief Minister, who later holds a meeting with Kranti. At the meeting, Kranti makes an eye-opening speech about the necessity for government schools to provide free education in order to remove the parents' burden. The Chief Minister is convinced and issues orders to renovate government schools and not to privatize them. Later, Vaman Rao resigns himself from his position, while Salatri is arrested for his activities.
