Unleashing Potential: Monica’s journey to Empowerment (Bijoya Lakshi)   

In this drama episode, the central character, Monica, challenges traditional gender roles as an educated housewife. She initially assists her brother-in-law, Majnu, in family farming and passionately asserts that agriculture is not solely men’s work. When drought threatens their crops, Monica takes the initiative to irrigate the fields, easing Majnu’s worries. The narrative takes a turn when Monica’s father-in-law, Jahir, questions her involvement in farming, believing that women should confine themselves to domestic responsibilities. This compelling drama serves as a powerful narrative on women’s determination to break free from traditional norms, showcasing Monica’s unwavering commitment to her family and her vital role in changing perceptions about women’s participation in agriculture and empowerment.
