Paani Foundation is an initiative formed by Mr. Aamir Khan and Ms. Kiran Rao in 2016 in order to create a people’s movement to solve the problem of drought. The CEO is Satyajit Bhatkal (director of Satyamev Jayate) and the COO is Reena Datta. The team of Paani Foundation is largely drawn from the team that made the show ‘Satyamev Jayate’ anchored by Mr. Aamir Khan. The team believes that communication is an important and powerful tool to motivate and to train people in to drought proof their villages. Paani Foundation is working closely with the government of Maharashtra which has launched the ambitious Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyaan to work on decentralized watershed management at the village level. The attempt is to make people aware that they have the greatest power and capacity to solve the problem of water.
