Bhopal(Madhya Pradesh): A movie ‘Village on Wheels’ based on the real life story of a village in Rajasthan, where people plant a sapling on the birth of a girl child and save money for her future, was screened on Wednesday at the ‘12th National Science Film Festival, 2022’. The five -day fest is underway at Ravindra Convention Centre here.
