CALL FOR SUPPORT | Reviving Our Most Precious Resource

Water is life, and India’s water reserves are rapidly declining.

Satsang Jal Seva Sangatan (SJSS) is working towards making every Indian city self-sufficient in its water needs, inspired by Sri M’s message of water as the sacred element of “Apas”.

Through rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge, lake desilting, water conservation and greywater recycling, SJSS is helping communities, schools, forests and villages build lasting water security.
