Aamir Khan’s Paani Foundation and Bharatiya Jain Sanghatana have joined hands in the shared mission to make Maharashtra drought-free! At a meeting held in Pune on 16th October, BJS volunteers from all over Maharashtra pledged to work with Paani Foundation in the effort to make every village and town in Maharashtra drought-free. The occasion was graced by Aaamir Khan, Satyajit Bhatkal, Chief Executing Officer of Paani Foundation and director of Satyamev Jayate television series, noted social worker Dr Avinash Pol and Founder of Bharatiya Jain Sanghatana Shantilal Muttha.
The actor, along with Paani foundations' CEO, Satyajit Bhatkal, was in Pune to present entire plan of the mission and interacted with 700 volunteers of 'Bharatiya Jain Sanghtana' (BJS). BJS has decided to join the water conservative initiative of Paani Foundation. The actor said that, since, we are scaling up our battle against drought with an aim to take the initiative to 30 tehsils, it will be a challenge for us as we will have to increase our expertise. He also said that we will have to scale up on our training facilities so that the quality of knowledge remains the same.
Pitching for public participation to make the state drought free, Aamir said that if society determines and gets united, 100 per cent water will be saved. On the occasion, he interacted with children of farmers, who have committed suicide over last few years, studying at BJS' educational rehabilitation centre in Wagholi, Pune. The kids sat wide-eyed as Khan sang songs, answered queries, and clicked selfies with them.
On the occasion, Shri Shantilal Muttha, the founfder of BJS mentioned the earlier projects and how their organisation successfully solved the water issues in many villages including Beed. He said that, it is not a government granted project or some kind of special scheme but that is a people’s movement. BJS assured as a team to keep working for Maharashtra and soon this will be a better country with greenery everywhere. BJS hope the joint project will be very productive to eradicate the enduring water crisis in the state of Maharashtra.
