Art of Living Rehydrates India with innovative approach

Since 2013, The Art of Living has quietly led a water conservation revolution throughout India, restoring rivers and reviving communities affected by drought.

With its River Rejuvenation Projects, the organisation has brought hope to millions across 19,400+ villages, impacting more than 34.5 million lives. These efforts aren't just about replenishing water; they're about revitalising entire ecosystems and paving the way for a sustainable future.

As Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, renowned humanitarian, spiritual leader and founder of The Art of Living, often says, “Our survival depends on water. It is the basis of our life force. We need to protect and nurture the source of water." Aligned with this vision, the organisation has constructed over 92,000 groundwater recharge structures, removed 270 lakh cubic metres of silt, and restored 59,000 square kilometres of land - conserving a whopping 174.02 billion litres of water, with these figures continuing to rise steadily.
