India's Water Revolution #2: The Biggest Permaculture Project on Earth! with the Paani Foundation

- čas přidán 26. 04. 2020
- Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to India to film the epic work of the Paani Foundation’s Water Cup Competition. We tour the village of Velu, in Maharashtra, who won the 2016 competition to install the most amount of water harvesting structures in a 45 day period. Guided by Paani Foundation’s chief advisor, Dr. Avinash Pol, we take a ride through the village watershed and see a massive water diversion and groundwater recharge project that has dramatically improved the lives, economy, ecology and stability of this village. Although the Paani Foundation doesn't use the word Permaculture to describe what they do, we examine why their work has turned into the biggest Permaculture project on Earth!

Funny part is even after staying in Maharashtra I have never heard of this because indian media thinks this is all uselesss effort and doesn't need attention however if there is draught some where and they will play it for days
The media is the same everywhere, garbage.
ohh that's sad, Ahir, but now youknow :)
Lot of city dwellers, IT, Military professionals are joining " shramadaan" during these 45 days of competition. Thereby breaking the socio barriers . Humans establishing selfless connections is an added gift !
The media all over the world loves disaster and hates good news.
Looks like some say local media shows it. Global media is likely owned by same people...banks & churches/"the powers"
Media will not publish otherwise they get benefits for it.
Every time I hear about such a project I'm ready to cry happy tears. We live in dry Colorado. The soil is so poor and doesn't hold water that even up in the mountains where it's relatively green, the ground mostly stays beige colored. Last year our town got rain for almost every day in the summer, but one day without rain and it looked miserable again, because the ground does not hold water. Three years ago I started regreening project in my own yard, I chose hugelkulture method. I collected natural debris in and around town, avalanche wood, piles of branches, I had many people bringing me hundreds bags of leaves that they would just take to the landfill, also got trucks after trucks of free wood chips. I can't move mountains of materials like this, so have to pay for the tractor, since ours stayed in another town where we used to live, but all of the things that people mindlessly get rid of, I asked to bring to me. My soil is growing! I can already see the results of my hard work! After watching videos like this one, I now want to improve at least part of my in-laws property. They own around 200-300 acres of desert. We own an excavator, so I'll ask their permission and will start digging swales. I really hope that will make at least small change in Colorado. I love people there dearly, but boy, beige color depresses me to the point that I want to leave.
All the best! Looking forward to a beautiful lush world!!
I am an Indian living in Colorado, I can understand your depression with the beige color :)
@@sanchayansarkar2953 , if you'll happen to be in Lake City, stop by to see me. It's a very small town, so just ask my name.
Biochar is the best and only treatment that is more or less permanent. Adding organic material is great but a very small amount of that material becomes humus which is what lasts a long time, the rest breaks down relatively fast, a few years and 90% of that material is gone. Whereas nearly 100% of biochar mass will remain in the soil, and is far more able to house microbial life, which is in turn what makes soil fertile. Amazonian Terra Preta is what it is largely due to biochar. Just remember, when using biochar, to charge it first (or expect stunted growth the first year). After you make a batch, or empty a purchased bag into a tote, make sure its sufficiently pulverized, and then throw a fairly heavy amount of fertilizer, preferably organic, such as tomato-tone, and mx it around a little before you water it in a bit. Then you let it sit for a week or so before applying
God Speed to you 💪😊
This is why small farms are superior to big farms, with regards to society and Earth. A big farm would lobby the government for subsidies and water to be piped in, and would never consider creating a sustainable system. Bravo, India!
You are spot on.
A big farm can't really do this, because these trenches would be too inconvenient to work with heavy machines.
1Maklak the trenches that I have observed in Maharashtra are on uncropped land on hillsides. There are some “water farms” where they give up some arable area for pond construction but haven’t seen structures in the farms themselves
@P lmao they do caloric intake studues 1k years ago?
That's why panjab and Haryana have desertification, air pollution and water shortages.
Even before Paani foundation, Dr. Avinash Pol done amazing job at Satara's Ajinkyatara Fort which solved the water problem for nearby village. Initially he started doing it alone but later many volunteers joined him. He and his team had been doing conservation work on every weekend for many years.
Agree! Dr. Pol is the moving force and the source of all knowledge. Paani Foundation is only taking credit

Modiji started this idea of building water table in Gujarat. If humans work together, we can achieve, heaven on earth. But there are human who wants heaven for themselves by hurting others. Our thinking must change. If our heart is good, God will speak to us from everywhere, if heart is evil, satan will talk even from scriptures. It is the mind and consciousness that matters.

Thank you brother
Thanks my brother from Pakistan. We both have one thing in common good people and bad politicians, your leaders/politician might be even worse, but the people continues to remain good the World will be a better place .
The Indian people are incredibly hard working and innovative.
Yet they still shit in street and in rivers and leave trash everywhere. Big innovation is not shitting in rivers people drink from.
@@tralfazz7579 it's a stereotype. Shitting in river is prohibited by religion as well as culture.
Shitting in open fields and forest in cultural practice.
This practice is very common all around the world.
It becomes problematic when population grows so much. Hence our govt is trying hard for banning this practice in modern time.
But again you can't generalise this idea all over India. There are many places with very less population and some tribal autonomous regions too. It's better to shit outside of your home far away in the open. Good for nature too 😊😊
@@tralfazz7579 try it sometime.... It's fun 🤣🤣
@@tralfazz7579 -I agree. it's not as pristine society as it used to be. But my friend when the pie is too small discipline goes for a toss. Recent most example is homeless on streets in right here in Los Angeles, CA a month ago in April ( source, CNN ) were defecating in streets, front of peoples houses..they had no choice due to ' shelter in place' orders.

I love how excited the speaker is, you can see when the bird was calling he was happy to share that it was a new event there. I notice the same thing when I landscape an area, the birds seem to enjoy our projects just like we do
Thank you Andrew and Paani Foundation for making this film available in English (with a Spanish title) It makes it available to millions of people beyond India. (Gracias desde Mexico! :-)
Thank you for promoting Pani foundation.
This helped lot of people. Specially villages in Man & Khatav In Satara District. At my village we had very less rain fall but due to Pani Foundation work we survived.
Thank you Pani Foundation Team and Brother Andrew 🙏😀🇮🇳

Awesome Mahesh !.. spread the word and take the good work to other non- participating villages. all the best.
I live in Germany, and I'm happy to see this kind of effort in such a country like India. Many people in the developed world take their basic necessities for granted: water, electricity, internet, welfare.
It's so impressive to see these hard working and smart people raise up from a dusty desert to build a thriving ecosystem. It's much more impressive than all of the huge skyscrapers and airports that China is trying to flaunt, like in some kind of competition that destroys the environment.
India is the biggest democratic country in the world, and I see so much hope there.
All that, but with the caveat that the dusty desert is one of their own making (even though western companies have had a hand or three in it as well).
As for the democracy, well, with centralized media and religious fearmongering it gets you someone like modi, who is basically hindu-hitler trying hard to go to war with pakistan.
This is not developed by a well functioning democratic state, this is the work of a random bollywood star and local initiative.
@@aenorist2431
Hindu-Hitler trying to go war with Pakistan? Ha ha how funny you are. To be honest if someterrorist from one country came & kill 200s of your citizens, then you must not do anything against them & bow head & welcome again for another terrorist attack according to you . Well after 9/11 America start a war against terrorism but at the same time 26/11 Mumbai attack india didn't did anything but approach diplomacy & show to world about culprits. Well whole world knows which country citizens get involved in 26/11 terrorist attack except some peoples like you, even David headly which is another culprit for supplying map/drone video footage now in US jail. Well he's a Pakistan origin American citizens.
In 26/11 attack these terrorist attacked narimon house, which is a little house for Israel people. Terrorist which is caught alive accepted that orders from their akka(terrorist handler) was if you killed one Judaism then it will equal to kill 10 hindu. But still they are called terrorist but not a radical islamist, but if any one question or talk about it then these terrorist sympathy people will call you Islamophobia. It's bitter truth man. But still we are staying happily with 200milion islam followers Indian citizens for n number of decade.(none this kind of multi faith country you found in this 'world ', even looking to Chinese & their treatment with uighur Islam followers, even there's bann on name 'Mohammed ', latest satellite images where clearly seen large number of "detection camp" & destroying 'domb' structural houses, repainting with Chinese communists style. But still non of the OIC Islamic country raised any objection. 1million Islam followers there, shame on their so called Islamic nation)
I'm a Hindu, i will never accept hindu-india. We do believe in secular india. But at the same time if a country which is based on islamic religion send their jihadi to kill our citizens then they will called terrorist but why not radical islamic terrorist? There are 1.3bilion Hindus in world but how much hindu-national there? But what about islam & other religion there n number of country where islam is state religion even if you want to get citizenship you must be an islam followers otherwise you can't, even their state of the head must be a islam follower. But if we ask questions on it so we are called Islamophobia. Great then go to hell, we are proud for our country & proud for a such a diversity multi faith world largest democracy, "DEMOCRACY ".
Talking about this projects i know although we have more GDP than France & UK still we face such types of problems, that's because of ours colonial era rules & regulations & paper work which leads delay & even cancel more project. Another one there's low GDP per capital income which is another abstraction for Being self sufficient. Well It will solved in another one or two decade completely. Well thanks
@@aenorist2431 - I believe creator of this video wants us to show, what a collective effort by common people fighting against odds can achieve for fellow humans and fragile eco systems. Let's leave rest of discussion for other forums.
@@aenorist2431 You are high on weed. Get your facts right.
@@aenorist2431 It is not the work of Any star, Star ain't coming to dig it. Ain't provided the much of funds which they recover in getting their movies tax free. that is one, Second, Whether Modi is Hitler or not, we can't say if he is creating fearful env, can't say..but surely I can say that he is for taking up challenges for the betterment of local people's lives. As it is said, It's best to have a smart enemy than a stupid friend. Nevertheless, he ain't telling anyone to go and kill others..it all those "illiterate people who do that out of stupidity" Now I will be biased and say that some religions do not believe in science..only in their own Damn books and bla bla.
Imagine what we can achieve worldwide with this permaculture project. It will be outstanding!!! Let's do this now!
it also depends on their monsoons
if you think this is some new idea you are wrong things like these have done all over the world thousands of years, those might be bit different but still...
@@freezedeve3119 but with new technology it can be done in areas where it was very diffcault before.

@@freezedeve3119 it's not a competition buddy!
That’s the direction, water retention landscapes decentralized all over the earth ! Superb project!
Yes it is called God's creation. What is actually going on here is man restoring what he destroyed. Better late than never. No if only other nations would get on board, we might all have a better future to look forward to.
Right
So what kinda strip mine site was that ha, good thing or bad, I do t know, epa would freak for sure though, hale Trump
Great project indeed... Very good
You're right, I don't think centralizing things ever really worked.
In these days of gloom, with media spewing negativity 24/7, this news made my day. I'm so proud of my country. They have the intelligence and power to overcome any difficulty.
Welldone Maharastra , you are doing this for millions of people
I hope we start this in Pakistan too !
Guys you are going to face huge water scarcity in future, better start working as early as possible.
Big rivers and huge dams can't support your increasing population for long.
Best wishes.
you just need to light that fire inside the people. good luck mate
Start harvesting water, pakistan do not have any river ecosystem geographically, the early you start the safer future will be
I wanted to mention that Maharashtra is a state with about 100 million people.
Didn't know this was happening. The Paani foundation and the village people of India are now our only hope for a prosperous and happy future ...truly Mahatma Gandhi's dream is coming true!
Worth more than 45 thousand views--a few million would be more just.
@Daniel Hughes It's only been up 16 days. I think we'll get there :-)
0.5 MIL and counting... :)
All done by hand...not a mechanical shovel in sight. This is the most impressive aspect of this and other farm projects in India's poor regions. People coming together...kids and adults, working in the hundreds, for a common good.
Well done Paani Foundation. Noble Peace Prize should be given.
Poor people but with great energy and a common goal to prosper. That's Indian villages.
Indeed, an amazing success story of modern times for the world to follow from the great people of India! The world sure loves India!
These efforts answer the prayer of my heart! And not a moment too late!
I'm so proud of this! May you be a beacon of light in the world! 🙏🏽🌍🦋

Many countries are spending money on sea defences because of rising sea levels when they should be spending money in drought areas to store more water.
All a lie. This what are doing in India is the key
People like these should lead the world.
This is what humans are here for, to make things better! It is so very encouraging to see all the good that is being done here. It makes me happy to be a member of the human race. It also gives so much hope for the future. Many thanks to the noble souls that made this happen!
One of the most interesting parts for me is the scale of projects in India. Gigantic. A lot of people means a lot of possibilities.
Great achievement...mobilising entire villages is no easy task. That's the kind of human and technical intervention we need to boost mother earth's accelerated recovery.
Being a muslim, doesn't calling earth "mother" make you pagan?
well said Kaamran, mobilising entire villages is no easy task..Aamir khan chose right partner here, Satyajit Bhatkal who is CEO of Paani Foundation. the man behind putting perfect designing and execution team.

So you will mess with people like him? Just because of his name? Is he supposed to be a spokesperson for anyone?

Hi guys,
Been a while since I'd seen this video and commented. Nice to know and see people mustering around a great cause. And sorry, saw comments only today.. Dunno how I missed them.
Extremely grateful to see water reaching the hinterlands. From a religious perspective as Anand here has asked I'd like to reply with all due respect that religion was supposed to make life easy for mankind. Along the way if it looks like a pain it is because it was hijacked by satanical nut cases or at least people influenced by such nut cases... Am speaking about my home pitch problems... I belive in calling a spade a spade.
'Do not make people loath religion'
-Prophet Muhammad (God's peace and blessings be upon him).
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him.”
All Islam says is do good, don't harm, give everybody and everything it's rightful place.. Worship the supreme, formless, nirankar creator and none of the creation.
I don't see anything wrong in calling my earth my mother.. I came from her, she feeds me by the leave of God and I shall return to her lap one day.. . . Until then I need to walk humbly in the earth.
Allah says: “And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, God likes not each arrogant boaster.” (Qur’an, 31:18)

I know how you are feeling after witnessing the water revolution....I have been a part of paani foundation as a JALMITRA (people living in cities can go for shramdaan to their nearest villages and do the labor work on 1st may which is known for labor day also)
I also had experienced similar feeling after the day ends with my body tired after doing the physical labor work which iam not use to.
paani foundation has a dedicated team of professionals and they have prepared this after looking into each and every minute details and they have tried to fill all the loop holes in the competition.
good that you are spreading this around the world.
Yes! People can really learn all over the world from the work of the Paani Foundation and all of the volunteers who made such an epic and massive transformation of the landscape, water cycle, and economy.

When I was in Karnataka, I like to visits many farm and water storage management..
Now I am introducing this system in Indonesia and Cambodia..
Dhanyavadh...
Namaste...
It's nice to see that you are propagating this in other countries as well. Are you currently based in India or Indonesia.
Best of Luck 👍👍👍
Really thrilled to see that competitions like this can yield such relevant outcomes towards a sustainable future. In the 'prosperous village competition' pani foundation can include another very important topic of indigenous seed conservation to create more and more seed banks.
Today I don't have to eat my lunch. This video gives me the feeling of fullness. I now bow down to that great human behind all this.
Thanks Dr.Avinash pol
This amazing and so inspirational! Thank you India and Paani foundation for this lesson in Permaculture
Good project.
Can be replicated in other arid areas of the world !
I think you would like to see greening the desert Project from Geoff Lawton or the regenerative Project of Jesús León Santos and CEDICAM in Sierra Mixteca of Oaxaca, México.
Of course you can find videos of projects like this in Africa, China, Arabic countries... perma culture is one of the main pillars of our future
It takes a lot of cooperation to achieve regional effects in one go. But anybody with an acre or more can apply these dry-land principles on a small scale and green up their own little corner of paradise.
Yep any where
One of the best videos I have seen in a long time. I believe this sort of action turns the clock back millions of years. Needs to be replicated in all low rainfall regions and more sustainable ecology than big concrete dams.
What an amazing achievement and positive impact on so many lives.
Thank u brother 💖fro. Maharashtra India
I am from one of the drier regions of Maharashtra, we moved out into cities because it was too risky surviving there, i occasionally used to visit my home town, and i have experienced the water scarcity, people fighting over water, crops failing, having to buy water to drink, its too sad. And now since the population is set to grow, its even more pressure on the water tables and other sources. I really hope this becomes a world wide trend because after india it will be other countries experiencing water scarcity. I thank Paani Foundation for their work which mightve saved thousands of lives and set a trend which will help the humanity eventually. I also thank Andrew Millison for this great documentary which provided me and my fellow people with insights about the situation.
Der schönste Bericht in den letzten 3 Monaten! Was für ein Projekt, Engagement und Hoffnung für so ein gebeuteltes Land! Macht bitte weiter so und laßt euch nicht ausbeuten. Auch Sadghuru initiiert und unterstützt solche Projekte zur Schaffung von Wald-Permakulture an den großen Strömen, die das Wasser zurückholen und ein Vielfaches an Nahrung bieten werden. Das ist die Zukunft. Auch für Europa. LOVE💗🙏
Sadguru is a fraud who grabs land and makes money through his fraud training.
Imagine how much more difficult it would have been to deal with the Coronavirus situation this year without any water in the villages. An added spread vector in the form of water tankers and the rush to fill water

I hope it can be replicated in the Phillipines. Good job, my admirations!
Yes of course it can, anywhere in the world.
Don't you have rain forests there?
ofcourse it can be. it just needs a team of like minded people. Just to let you know Paani foundation is almost a 100 % "volunteer" work. the villagers "Donated" their time and effort to make this possible. Men women children came out in hoards to chip in. a small group of women also created "cooking camps" where they cooked for all the volunteers so that nobody even takes a break to go back to their respective homes for food.
We need to fix people habits for throwing trash everywhere first. Before doing that🤦🤦
Thankyou Aamir khan ,satmev jyate team and all the volunteers for this initiative
This has to be the most amazing thing I have ever seen... I knew 2020 would come up with some wild next thing after Pentagon confirmed the existence of UFOs.
Please, direct me to these findings.
This is A NEW DESIGN FOR POSITIVE CHANGE.
IT WILL BE A NEW DESIGN FOR LIVING.
This is going to be a greater revolution than the GREEN REVOLUTION.
Decentralization of resources,
power in all forms,
is the catalyst here.
The common man in India comes from the village and it is here any change is expected.
This will cure the malady at its source.
Let there be LIGHT to all here.
Apart from all the important, even life saving aspects, just imagine how beautiful the planet would be if all agriculture looked roughly like this.
And also, permaculture seems to me to be the only way to make possible the coexistence of more and more people and nature.
Yes

I love this , how these people are trying to change their live with the help of nature and save the environment a bonus point ,
But city people are so so cruel , they take this for granted and waste resources and pollute environment and still they think are superior
Lessons? When people come together, they can accomplish marvels. All they need is the right supprot, great leadership and desire.

Beautiful model...the part where he said let's shoot the drought was poignant. How the population realized the dire need and work together in this way is phenomenal.
Incredible! Such a great example for the rest of the world!!!
Challenging the villages into a competition is a clever idea: you get much more buy-in from the villagers and the skeptics from the start. I'm glad to see that these kind of initiatives are taking place across the world. The human race has ruined so much of the planet with little thought for consequence until now.
That sounds so fantastic for these villages to not having to worry during the dry season. Increase in the quality of the lands with healthier soil for crops to grow all year long. All these people have the benefit of new friends as well!
I'm from Indonesia, and we have the same condition as what India had, but unfortunately we don't have the same pioneer like Amir Khan to start this movement. I hope every influencer in Indonesia could watch all of these videos and do something.
For your information, Amir khan is just the front face. Go and research about people like Anna Hazard, Popatrao Pawar and Dr. Avinash Pol. They are pioneers of this program. Then comes our people, Government and officers who toiled for the cause.

WOW this is amazing! I'm a civil engineering student and my goal is to become a missionary by going to underdeveloped countries and designing water treatment systems based on their culture. This video definitely changed some of my perspective on how I can achieve that. Thank you so much for this vid I will definitely look into them. I am so happy that the social mindset of the village got changed in addition to the water systems changing.
define - "underdeveloped countries" , just for reference, this is India here..
I am a marketing student and have similar intentions.. hope we can work together someday
Same here
Hopefully they share in their abundance, until neighbouring villages get to their feet and in turn help others at least until the coming pole shift. What wonders engineering can achieve. Well done villagers, well done Mr. Khan. 🙏😊
This is why i love India 🇮🇳 ❤ Please keep doing this incredible and inspiring work

Plz accept my congratulations for the splendid work done by organizing WATER CUP programme to motivate community for their whole hearted involvement... this is the best way to sustain the agriculture
So beautiful soil. They had done a wonderful and amazing job. Mashallah ❤
Wonderful project which is never showed by the media, bcoz we have so much interest in Hindu-Muslim chit-chat rather than development...

So happy to see people working and celebrating together with nature.
So Beautiful to see what can be done with correct instructions and action togetherness of lot of people! They changed their land, their life and the economy around them. I wonder this knowledge could be multiplied and applied on arid areas in Africa, Brazil and etc, how many lives would be improved!
I am so glad to see those villagers improve their lives.
This is a perfect example of having the local people solve their own problems with success proven guidance.
Good job India, you have support from Europe!!!
Dear Andrew, I find your work really encouraging. I have a simple suggestion too. Why dont you introduce Water Cyringe technology (invented by Mr Anto ji from Kerala) along with this?
When massive numbers of people get together for a good cause, some wonderful things happen. In America and elsewhere, whole forests have been planted to push back the desert. Hundreds of miles of land have been restored for water, wildlife, forests and food. Other countries don't seem to say they don't want to participate because they are not getting paid. In America, hard physical work is frowned on, and it shouldn't be. It's how we built our infrastructure. And we can volunteer with other groups to replant and restore.
This is the best news of 2020!
What an inspirational story, 1000 villages already fully water sustainable through intentional design. A great blueprint to follow. Thanks
Why is this channel has only 46.5k subs? I mean India is not the only place on earth that suffers drought! Thank you for sharing Mr. Andrew!
Great vedio Andrew, I'm happy that you took the effort to cover this story ,IV been seeing for the past 4years Mr Avinash pol &his team tirelessly working towards this goal ,Mr poll is an inspiration for me ,like he is for the millions of villagers ,he &his team has touched through his efforts .Andrew I would request you to give this idea &effort of Mr poll his team &the villagers, maximum publicity , so that this callosal effort should not go waste. Thank you once again Andrew
Thanks Akshay. Dr. Pol is an inspiration. I saw this article recently about the work he is doing during the lockdown to help farmers get their products to the buyers: www.foundingfuel.com/article/the-satara-uprising/
So his work extends in many directions. Hopefully many people will see his good work through these videos.
All the best Andrew🙏
Incredible achievement. Well done to all! 🤙🙏🏼
Indian Media doesn't show all this primarily because almost no one in India wabts to see all this. My Dad was a Scientist working for Soil and Water Conversation and Watershed Management (ICAR) and I used to hear about his work so much similar to this. All this is so reminiscent of him ❤
Whoever that amazing Bollywood fella is - he needs a Nobel Prize, what a DUDE. (Apologies to my Indian friends on here for my ignorance of Indian Cinema).
He is Amir Khan..He has acted in many village-oriented movies.
Volunteered to dig trenches for this cause , enjoyed working with and for my farmer countrymen
Good Work by the folks at Paani Foundation & Villagers, and a very good job by you as well, Andrew, bringing this story out and sharing it with the world !
Cheers !
What the people need is a little motivation and every community can be self sustainable. Governments should emulate this
shame on ourself to learn that rural india is thriving on these techniques from other nationals . proud to see deccan plateau region turning green.
Thank you for bringing this to the world Andrew
Excellent work, developing community spirit and of benefit to all. A shinning example of co operative management. The idea of a competition between communities provides recognition of best practice which benefits all those involved.
This was a great inspirational video, we need this everywhere how to respect water.
Wow, what a great project! Wish Europe and all the West adopted this modus operandi. Very well Done!!!!!
Mr. Millison you captured the ' water movement' precisely as it happened last 4 years. If I'm allowed to say to this to all , please follow Paani foundation here on youtube. Some of the stories are awe-inspiring ! Humans breaking the sociological barriers and establishing selfless connections is an added gift !
Fantastic.. More of these great clips shared on water managing, food forests, cleaning the entire earth- ocean- rivers of waste & toxic products, avouding hash chemicles,helping all birds & animals, fixing problems on hunger- helping solve homeless people etc should be the focus around the world. Only when people take these steps -will there actually be changes in the world, people in power will have to follow & provide what the people want & seek. Loved watch positive clips like these. Thanks for sharing & to all involved keep up the great work
.....Gold bird India is Back......
Wonderful vision of Aamir Khan...not only did he identify issues via his show satyamev jayate...
He spent years to find practical solutions...
These villages we're having fever drought...
People had no jobs...
It brought back the economy.... It brought back people and most importantly it brought back life and love
People put aside their caste differences, political and income differences...
Such a wonderful video. Educational, entertaining and more than anything else inspirational. It teaches us that in country where the Politician and the Media is apathetic to the plight of the common man, we should take charge of our own destinies. Armed with knowledge and team work, anything is possible. Thank you for making a video empowering our communities.
I am proud to be Jal Mitra . Thank you paani foundation
Right on India ❤️😆🌍show all how.🌍making the village awesome ❤️ In this contest all win.
This system must be implemented around the world at once. This is what we and the earth need
Well, to be more realistic, projects like these are designed around local landscape and climate, might not be replicable to everywhere in the world.
