Aamir Khan urges students to join Shramdaan for Paani Foundation.

Aamir Khan's Midas touch is not limited to
his films or his box office collections but it
also positively impacts his social initiatives.
While he has not been speaking about it,
Paani Foundation's Satyameva Jayate Water
Cup has grown to achieve what they were
set out to in the last three years. In its third
year of inception, Aamir Khan is taking
Paani Foundation to the youth of the
country. The actor is keen that students
should be reached out to volunteer for a
day from their two months of summer
holidays to help the villages.
Taking Paani Foundation to educational
institutes, Aamir Khan will be going to
college and will make an appeal to students
by pinning up call to action posters urging
students to join the movement. Aamir, who
has been extensively working for the
welfare of small villages in Maharashtra, will
be making this appeal in Mumbai, Pune,
Nasik and Nagpur colleges to urge students
to join in for Shramdaan. The actor will be
visiting Symbiosis college in Pune on the
20th of April. He will interact with students
over a question and answer session
spreading awareness about the social
initiative. The actor wants students from
across the state to volunteer for the cause
of water conservation and hence join
Shramdaan.
Aamir Khan has been associated with Paani
Foundation for the past three years and has
helped almost 1/4th of Maharashtra to
conserve and utilise water. It is a not-for-
profit company set up in 2016 by the team
of the TV series Satyamev Jayate to fight
drought in rural Maharashtra. Aamir Khan's
initiative of Paani Foundation's Satyameva
Jayate Water Cup has grown to achieve
what they were set out to in the last three
years.
In 2018, over 9000 villages from 75 talukas
will be competing for the Water Cup.
Because of his phenomenal work In this
area, in Maharashtra, the smallest of places
not only know about Aamir Khan but also
take him to be a huge inspiration. The
actor, who has been busy shooting for his
upcoming film, has been taking some time
off along with wife Kiran Rao for Paani
Foundation. He will be dedicating 2 months
entirely to look into the work personally.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Aamir Khan
is starring in the upcoming film Thugs of
Hindostan. The Yash Raj Films production is
being helmed by Dhoom 3 director Vijay
Krishna Acharya. Thugs of Hindostan also
stars Amitabh Bachchan, Fatima Sana
Shaikh and Katrina Kaif. It will release
during Diwali 2018.

Narmada Dam was also uprooting so many villagers. But this foundation has only helped people find new ways to conserve water.

Where have you pulled out such informative data from..India-forums or pinkvilla?

I am watching all the episodes on Zee Marathi...and this isnt a new thing he has taken up...he and Kiran Rao are working towards it since a few years now..

There are numerous Marathi industry celebs who are also supporting...there are normal people who are also helping...

last week, there was a college student who started contributing... he was personally called on the show and Aamir himself spoke to the boy...the amount he contributed, merely 100Rs, which is nothing...but the major thing was that his pocket money is only 500 Rs, out of which he shared 100 Rs towards the Paani foundation...

you should watch the episodes, even if you dont understand Marathi, it's good to see the efforts taken by so many people, and Aamir is one of the main reason for the initiative.

I heard that dam that was to be built at the cost of 8000 cr ended up costing 33000 cr to state thanks to Amir Khan's dharnas and opposition.
