Satyamev Jayate Water Cup
From 2016-2019, charged with the dream of a drought-free Maharashtra, we hosted our first flagship initiative, the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup. This 45-day pre-monsoon competition united drought-stricken villages to work beyond social barriers and conserve water in parched lands.
Over 6,000 villages from 76 blocks participated. Together, they trained in the science of decentralised watershed management and implemented it too. Their efforts led to the creation of over 550 billion litres of water storage capacity!
What began as a social experiment became a massive people’s movement for water conservation.

Satyamev Jayate Farmer Cup
To address the drought crisis in a comprehensive manner, it is imperative to focus on both water supply, as well as demand. Farmers are most incentivised to do this when there is a direct positive impact on their livelihood.
Building on this insight, in 2022, Paani Foundation launched the ‘Satyamev Jayate Farmer Cup’. This is an annual competition between farmer collectives to do the best work in sustainable agriculture.
This is a platform through which farmers receive (i) Motivation, (ii) Knowledge and (iii) Strategic Partnership Benefits. In 2023, top farmer collectives experienced a 41.4% reduction in per-acre costs and 79.9% growth in per-acre profits.
