Paani Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization which is active in the area of drought prevention and watershed management in the state of Maharashtra, India. The organization was founded by Indian actor Aamir Khan, his ex-wives Kiran Rao and Reena Dutta, and film and television director Satyajit Bhatkal. Bhatkal serves as the CEO of the foundation.
The primary aim of Paani Foundation is to spread knowledge of watershed management and groundwater replenishment. Paani Foundation has been organizing the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup competition since 2016, where villages compete with each other to implement watershed management and water conservation methods in the summer months leading up to the monsoon season.[1][2] Paani foundation carries steps to overcome the ill effects of droughts.
