(international title: Krishi) is an Indian soap opera, which was broadcast on the channel Zee TV from 19 December 2011 to 28 December 2012. With it set in Bhagalpur, Bihar, it is the story of Krishna, who rises from modest beginnings to a successful career. The show was further dubbed into English and then aired on Zee World, targeting international audience.

Plot summary Krishna, who is the protagonist of the story, comes from a very poor family. Yet she dreams of becoming a BDO (Block Development Officer). She constantly struggles with money, jealous relatives and her dark skin being mocked. Her dad and the landlord's sons, Babloo and Pintu, secretly help her study and even kidnap her to sit for the tough exams while her uncle bribes to push his own daughter Pinky instead.

After endless drama—family fights, a near-forced marriage, false accusations, and Pintu getting trapped into marrying Pinky—Krishna nails the tests, exposes the cheating, and finally becomes BDO. She marries Pintu, faces more corruption and tragedy (including losing loved ones), but stays strong, turns down bigger dreams to save her family, and gives birth to a baby girl. In the end, even Pinky softens up, and everyone's happy. It is an engaging story indeed.
