Paani Foundation was set up in 2016 by the core team of the ‘Satyamev Jayate’ TV show. Our work is geared towards creating a people’s movement to tackle the generational crisis of drought in Maharashtra, and make farmers prosperous. We mobilise, train and motivate villages and farmers to lead this fight.
From 2016 to 2019, we hosted the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup, a competition between villages to do the best work in water and soil conservation. Hundreds of villages became water-abundant through their own efforts. Several success stories emerged, and so did several learnings.
We realised that there was a pressing need to use this water to improve farmers’ livelihoods as well. Thus, starting May 2022, we launched the Satyamev Jayate Farmer Cup – a competition to enable farmers to boost their incomes and become economically prosperous.
