Bhaktaraj Garje came to Kulalwadi village of Sangli district in Maharashtra as a primary school teacher but he became a hero helping to double villagers' income and amplifying water conservation

Instead of dumping their produce and losing their life savings, these initiatives in Satara, Bengaluru and on Twitter are helping farmers earn an income during the COVID-19 lockdown. If successful in the long run, these initiatives could revolutionize farming in India.

If you but look beyond the glitz and glamour, you will see that these changemakers are striving to change lives and break societal stereotypes.

As part of the Satyameva Jayate Water Cup 2017, over 1,300 villages in drought-prone areas of Maharashtra are creating water-harvesting structures to overcome chronic water scarcity, particularly during the hot season. Nidhi Jamwal takes a closer look.

Water conservation is a pressing need in many parts of India. The Satyameva Jayate Water Cup was a competition that aimed to spread awareness and get more people involved in the efforts to preserve this precious natural resource.

Conceptualised by the Paani Foundation, the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup has taken on the ambitious task of solving the water crisis in Maharashtra, while also infusing in its villagers a sense of pride and confidence.
