Mera Pind is the story of a well-to-do NRI Navroz Singh Lamba (Navjot Sidhu) who has chosen to settle in his native village and spread the message of empowerment and entrepreneurship among the village youth. Led by Himmat (Harbhajan Maan), the youth set off a revolution in the development of the village.
