Protima Devi (Devika Rani) is in love with Dr. Ajoy Kumar Ghosh (Ashok Kumar), whom she has already accepted as her husband (eventhough they are not married yet). Ajoy is living in a village, where he is the only doctor.

Inspired by the death of a friend, Ajoy decides to devote his life to serving his native village (a metaphor for serving the country). Dedicated to the cause, Ajoy decides to renounce all worldly pleasures, including his love. Protima gets a rude shock when Ajoy writes to her urging her to forget him. Determined not to give up easily, she sets off to the village, where she discovers that Ajoy is out to improve the lives of the villagers.

Ajoy attempts at enlightening the villagers against blind faith and achieving unity by breaking down caste barriers brings him in direct conflict with the old order, represented by the hedonistic zamindar, his assistant Sanatan (P.F. Pithawala), the village priest and the village moneylender. Together, the four band together to discredit Ajoy in the eyes of the villager.
