In
2016
Paani
Foundation,
a
nonprofit
company
started
by
Aamir
Khan
and
Kiran
Rao
organized
the
Satyamev
Jayate
Water
Cup
which
is
a
competition
held
each
year
between
villages
to
see
which
village
does
the
best
work
in
watershed
management.
This
is
a
people's
movement
for
a
water-abundant,
prosperous
Maharashtra.
Paani
Foundation
trains
people
in
the
science
of
watershed
management,
and
villagers
then
plan
and
execute
various
watershed
management
works
in
their
village
with
help
from
the
government
and
NGOs.
The
movement
has
steadily
grown,
and
over
the
past
two
years,
thousands
of
people
in
cities
expressed
the
desire
to
contribute
to
this
effort.
To
make
it
possible
to
volunteer
and
participate
in
different
ways,
Paani
Foundation
created
the
'Jalmitra'
-
or
'Friend
of
Water' initiative,
which
it
launched
on
World
Water
Day
-
22nd
March
2018.
Anyone,
anywhere
in
the
world
can
be
a
Jalmitra
by
signing
up
on
the
link
jalmitra.paanifoundation.in.
On
the
1st
of
May,
there
will
be
a
'Mahashramdaan'
across
Maharashtra
in
all
75
talukas
of
the
Satyamev
Jayate
Water
Cup,
where
tens
of
thousands
of
citizens,
both
urban
and
rural
will
meet
and
work
together
for
water
abundance.
Aamir
Khan
said
he
believes
that
this
partnership
between
rural
and
urban
will
not
only
help
the
villagers
but
the
city
folk
as
well,
to
come
closer
to
understanding
our
farmer
friends,
and
knowing
where
our
food,
water
and
labour
comes
from.
It
will
help
to
bridge
the
chasm
between
cities
and
villages,
and
go
a
long
way
towards
creating
a
more
equitable
and
humane
relationship
between
the
two.
He
urged
the
students
to
join
the
fight
against
water
scarcity,
and
help
work
towards
a
prosperous
and
happy
Maharashtra.
