On the occasion of World Water Day, the Hinduja Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the 110-year-old Hinduja Group, announced that it has positively impacted 5 million (50 lakh) people across 4000+ villages in 18 states and Union Territories in India, a significant milestone under its flagship Jal Jeevan initiative.

According to the 2025 report by the Observer Research Foundation, the nation faces a decline in per capita water availability, projected to decrease from 1486 cubic metres in 2021 to 1367 cubic metres by 2031. Large-scale interventions are crucial to ensuring sustainable water access. In response, the foundation has implemented diverse initiatives to tackle this pressing challenge.

The Foundation's Water Steward initiatives, recognized by all Hinduja Group companies, has led to the restoration of a staggering 5 trillion litres of water covering nearly 4 million (40 lakh) acres of agricultural land.

Furthermore, the Foundation has successfully revived 100 lakes, constructed and rehabilitated 20,000 open wells, installed 765 check-dams to enhance groundwater recharge, and provided 1.2 billion litres of safe drinking water. Additionally, 4000 rooftop rainwater harvesting systems have been established, making a tangible difference in water-stressed communities.
