जल ही जीवन है | Water is life! Let us take you through an initiative by ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth that is helping 15 lakh students across India. Due to low rainfall, schools in drought prone areas face water scarcity. ICICI Foundation is changing this narrative by ensuring a sustainable water source. By catching rainfall through rainwater harvesting, we are transforming the lives in over 6,800 schools across the country. Rainwater harvesting involves collecting and storing rainwater from rooftops. This collected water is then directed into storage tanks, wells or directly in to the borewell. This simple yet effective method helps mitigate water scarcity, especially in drought-prone areas. ICICI Foundation: - Has implemented rainwater harvesting programme at over 6,800 rural schools and other institutions - Enabled water harvesting potential of over 16 billion litres of rainwater for drinking, sanitation & agriculture - Provided over 15 lakh students with water in schools - Promoted a habit of water conservation among the future citizens of our country All figures as on March 31, 2024. Let us ensure a sustainable tomorrow by prioritising water conservation today.

Faith. Devotion. Transformation. 🙏 A divine experience to participate in the 178th Akhand Harinam Saptah of Shri Sant Sadguru Yogiraj Gangagiriji Maharaj at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Surrounded by spiritual energy, devotees joined in the joy of Fugadi and Harinam. This sacred tradition reflects the timeless teachings of our saints, to rise above caste and creed, and to see Lord Vitthal in every soul. Their message continues to inspire unity, devotion, and social harmony. With this divine inspiration came a strengthened resolve, to build the Shani Deogaon Barrage, approve the ₹109 crore Sarla Bet Development Plan, expand solar-based free power for farmers, and launch river-linking projects to make Marathwada drought-free. With the blessings of Maharaj ji and the devotion of the people, lives will be transformed and our cultural roots protected. Minister Girish Mahajan, Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil ji, MLA Ramesh Bornare and other dignitaries were present.

#BounceBackRamnad #SaveWater தண்ணியே இல்லாத மாவட்டம்னு சொன்ன இராமநாதபுரத்துக்கு தண்ணி கொண்டு போய்ட்டோம். கொண்டுபோன தண்ணீல விவசாயமும் பண்ண வச்சுட்டோம்💙 திரும்ப திரும்ப சொல்றேன், இராமநாதபுரம் மாவட்டம் தண்ணி இல்லாத மாவட்டம் இல்லை, தண்ணியை சேமிக்காத மாவட்டம். We dispelled the myth that Ramanathapuram is a drought hit area by bringing water to hundreds of lakes, not just that farmers who left farming long back used this water to do farming. I am saying this over and over: Ramanathapuram is not a drought hit area; rather, it is a region which failed to save water. Our sincere gratitude to all those who supported us in making this wonder happen. We could see water in lakes of Ramnad because of you. Together Lets Make Our Mother Earth Green Again💚 Best Regards, Nimal Raghavan.

Did this wet weekend finally bust the drought? Not quite, but we definitely made a nice dent! I’ve been getting a lot of questions about when water restrictions might be lifted. The short answer is: not yet. Here is a breakdown of where we stand: Droughts are a Marathon, Not a Sprint. This current drought started building last fall. Droughts don't form overnight, and they don't go away overnight, either. It takes time to reverse months of dry weather. Summer Evaporation Rates: We are moving right into the summer months where water usage and natural evaporation rates are sky-high. Right now, getting 1" of rain a week is essentially our break-even point. It keeps things from getting worse, but it doesn't erase the deep deficits we've already built up. The Big Picture: Take a look at the map above, which shows the total precipitation needed in just one month to completely end the drought going into the weekend. Depending on where you live in the Carolinas, we still need anywhere from 10 to over 21 inches of rain, minus what we just got, to remove drought in 30 days. So, while this weekend's rain was fantastic progress, we still have a long way to go. Keep up the great work on water conservation, and with this rain, no need to water for a while. Let's hope for steady rain to keep chipping away at the problem! #cltwx #NCwx #SCwx #Drought #wcnc

Collective Efforts Creating New Pathways of Rural Progress! Chaired the 5th Governing Council meeting of the Village Social Transformation Foundation (VSTF), reviewing the progress of on-ground initiatives and appreciating the collective contributions of all stakeholders. Underlined the importance of people-centric governance, ensuring that every initiative delivers tangible improvements in the lives of rural communities. The need to uphold Seva Bhav (spirit of service) among government functionaries, especially in light of challenges following the withdrawal of fellows. The first phase of VSTF has delivered encouraging results and the second phase will move ahead with greater strength. Building strong village-level institutions, empowering local human resources and adopting village-specific plans will ensure sustainable transformation. With CSR partners bringing not just financial resources but also policy innovations, technologies and creative solutions, rural development in Maharashtra is moving forward with renewed momentum. Key Focus Areas Discussed: • Livelihood & Infrastructure: Strengthening essential rural infrastructure while fostering sustainable livelihood opportunities. • Healthcare: Establishing robust healthcare facilities with emphasis on early detection and screening of cancer and other critical diseases. • Cluster Development & Data-Driven Governance: Enhancing impact through cluster-based development models and insights from data-driven approaches. • Water Conservation & Rural Development: Promoting holistic growth through water management initiatives and integrated rural development programs. Also, an MoU was signed between MITRA, VSTF and the Quality Council of India for the ‘Sarpanch Samvaad’ initiative and another MoU was signed between the Maharashtra Forest Department, VSTF and Sterlite Tech Foundation for large-scale plantation activities in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Thank you to all partner organisations for their pivotal role in advancing VSTF’s mission. Including Tata Trusts, JSW, STL, IDBI, GIC Re, Goenka Group, CEAT Tyres, BPCL, HPCL, and many others were acknowledged for their steadfast support and commitment.

Infrastructure, Investment, and Water Conservation – Maharashtra on the Rise!✨ It was an overwhelming moment to be at 'TiEcon Mumbai 2025: India’s Leading Entrepreneurial Leadership Summit' in Mumbai, today. Humbled to receive the 'TiE Mumbai Hall of Fame' award at the hands of the legendary, Infosys founder Narayana Murthy ji. This award is a proud recognition of the governance model we embarked on in 2014 under the visionary leadership of our Hon PM Narendra Modi Ji. Receiving this award today is not just an honour but a realization that our efforts are making a real difference and that we are on the right path together. All these transformative infrastructure projects in Maharashtra, especially in Mumbai and MMR—be it the Coastal Road, Atal Setu, Metro Network, or the Vadhavan Project—have become a reality because of our governance, which turned aspirations into achievements. Every project has been backed by thorough study and dedicated efforts, and under the visionary leadership of Hon PM Narendra Modi Ji, we have worked relentlessly to make them happen. Today, these ongoing projects are set to boost the State’s growth significantly. The 4th Mumbai will be created in the area of Vadhavan which will emerge as a dynamic new city, driving massive GDP growth and creating a thriving business ecosystem. In just 5 years, we planned and initiated 372 Km of metro, out of which 150 Km is now delivered. With each passing year, we will continue expanding and delivering more, ensuring a stronger and more connected Maharashtra. Being recognized for water conservation is a significant achievement. In 2014, 14 schemes were executed by 6 different departments. We streamlined them into one scheme, one leader, and one department, launching the ambitious 'Jalyukt Shivar' initiative. Our goal was to make 25,000 villages drought-free, and the Marathwada region saw a significant rise in water levels. In the 2020 Government of India's Groundwater Report, Maharashtra was the only state to show improvement compared to others. This award also recognizes investments, and once again, Maharashtra has become the top destination for FDI. This year, we have broken all previous records—surpassing our own ₹31,000 crore investment milestone from 2016-17. In just 9 months, we have secured ₹1.39 lakh crore in investments, with 50% of the country's FDI flowing into Maharashtra. Today, Maharashtra stands as the new startup capital of India. We are dedicated to reviving Mumbai’s glory and propelling Maharashtra to unmatched greatness! On this occasion, the Founding President of TiE Mumbai Harish Mehta, Uday Mohan, TiE Mumbai President Ranu Vohra and other dignitaries were present.

30 years old Cynthia Oguzie has lost her l!fe after a water tank c0llapsed into her room in Lekki, Lagos State💔. The overhead tank crashed through the ceiling of her apartment while she was in bed.

History, they say, is the greatest teacher. Its lessons remind us that the most magnificent engineering marvels of the past aren’t just beautiful—they’re brilliant with purpose. On this Engineers’ Day, we look back at such an engineering marvel from the Mauryan era, the Ahar–Pyne, a traditional rainwater harvesting and irrigation system. Primarily built to sustain irrigation for agriculture in drought-prone areas; this unique method helped to divert and store floodwaters into reservoirs, called Ahars. Once almost forgotten, this ancient system has been revived with the collaborative efforts of ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth (the CSR arm of ICICI Bank), Gram Panchayats and Panchayat Samitis in Bihar. Highlights: - 32 Ahars revived - 57 crore litres of additional annual water storage created - 900 acres brought back under cultivation - Over 20,000 lives positively impacted across 16 villages Where fields had dried, crops now flourish. Where families had left, they are returning to rebuild. This is not just history remembered. It is engineering reborn.

Tonight, thousands of us took to the streets across the country to protest the illegal war waged by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. The Israel Police, having been captured by this government of bloodshed and transformed into a militia in service of the regime, violently dispersed the demonstration in Tel Aviv, arresting over ten protesters. A peaceful anti-war demonstration is met with violent dispersal, while murderous Jewish terrorism against Palestinians is backed and emboldened. "Democracy" — or so they call it.

Launched the World Bank-assisted MahaSTRIDE project today in Nagpur, a key milestone in our mission to make Maharashtra a $1 Trillion economy. Over the past 5 years, Maharashtra’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) has reached ₹45 lakh crore. However, it is concerning that nearly 50% of this contribution comes from just 7 districts. This imbalance must be addressed. Our vision demands that every district becomes a growth engine. Through MahaSTRIDE, each district will now be treated as an independent economic unit with its own District Strategic Plan, backed by real-time data, resource mapping, and performance benchmarks. We aim to grow the state’s GSDP by ₹35 lakh crore in the next 5 years, and this will only be possible when all districts contribute actively and equitably. A GDP clock at Mantralaya will track this journey in real-time measuring how each district is progressing, and where course correction is needed. Ease of doing business, private investment, and data-driven decision-making will be central to this transformation. We must build an ecosystem where governance enables, not obstructs, where entrepreneurs feel empowered, not encumbered. MahaSTRIDE will give every district the wings to fly. Now it's up to each of us to ensure that potential turns into performance, and aspirations into achievement.
