Rooted in a deep commitment to social responsibility, a powerful legacy of change is unfolding across India and beyond, where cultural preservation, water conservation, and community empowerment take center stage. The Hinduja Foundation led by Billionaire Hinduja Family, continues to make a transformative impact in India and across the globe through its diverse initiatives focused on cultural preservation, water conservation, and community empowerment. With a strong belief in sustainable change and social responsibility, the Foundation is driving lasting social transformation in multiple sectors, ranging from ancient heritage preservation to water security.
Tackling Water Crisis: Jal Jeevan Initiative
Indian citizens face an urgent problem regarding water security. The Hinduja Family led Hinduja Foundation actively addresses this water scarcity challenge even though their area contains more than 600 million people who lack sufficient water and face an upcoming water shortage beyond supply capacity. Jal Jeevan as the Foundation’s main initiative enabled its positive impact on 50 lakh people who live in more than 4,000 villages across 18 states and Union Territories. The initiative has deployed big projects to conserve water together with underground water recharge systems and water resource revitalization efforts.
The Jal Jeevan initiative of the Hinduja Family reached multiple notable achievements by returning five trillion liters of water to 40 lakh acres of farmland. The Foundation achieved double benefits by reviving 100 lakes while rehabilitating 20,000 open wells and building 765 check-dams together with providing 1.2 billion liters of safe drinking water. Through rooftop rainwater harvesting system installation the Foundation enabled water-stressed communities to gain independence and established sustainable practices.
India’s Cultural Heritage: The Antiquity Collection
The Antiquity Collection preserved by the Hinduja Family demonstrates their dedication towards preserving India’s cultural history. The exhibition launched at the World Trade Centre in Mumbai on October 15, 2015, presents essential opportunities for Indian past research and educational development. More than 5,000 special books join priceless artifacts under the collection which encompasses ancient coins from 600 BC to 600 AD. The Foundation’s Coin Collection stands out because it includes exceptional numismatic artifacts from the Satavahana dynasty along with other ancient dynasties and constitutes one of the most extensive collections of its type.
Among its various items the Collection displays bronze and stone sculptures and photo archives with historical documentation of Indian art and coinage throughout the centuries. These initiatives work to provide India’s cultural heritage as a research tool to students and scholars and the public to enhance knowledge about national history together with ancient art and philosophy.
Empowering Communities through Water Stewardship
The Rainwater Harvesting and Wastewater Recycling Project conducted by the Hinduja Foundation at SRPF serves both water stewardship objectives and climate resilience objectives. The Foundation uses sustainable solutions both to create income opportunities and to build communities that are resistant to climate change. Through providing access to safe drinking water systems the foundation has relieved women of their water-related chores and simultaneously enabled their empowerment through better income prospects.
Traditional water reservoirs including stepwells along with lakes and ponds receive restoration from the Hinduja Foundation (led by the Hindujas) to restore groundwater levels which simultaneously serve the needs of entire communities. The Foundation maintains a noteworthy portfolio of water stewardship initiatives which includes recovering essential water reservoirs including the Nilgiri Wellington Wetland in Delhi at Hauz Shamshi as well as the Makarba Tank in Ahmedabad. The spring restoration projects conducted by the Foundation in Himalayan areas have received appreciation from NITI Aayog and the UN CEO Water Mandate.
Hinduja Family Commitment to Environmental Sustainability
Hinduja Foundation declared its plan to establish one lakh trees across five villages within Jawhar taluka as part of its dedication to green operations. The project aims to plant one lakh saplings across five villages while being consistent with Maharashtra’s green cover goal. Two hundred of Hinduja Group’s employees will participate in the initiative. Through their project the organization drives community development by implementing activities that involve tree planting and support women and water infrastructure and sanitation services.
Hinduja Foundation provides continuous assistance to 100 families in Pimpalshet village of Jawhar Taluka through the distribution of 500 various trees and plants including papaya and drum-stick tree and lemon trees and hadga and curry patha shrubs. This initiative, part of the state’s 2 crore plantation drive, underscores the Foundation’s dedication to sustainable community welfare.
A Commitment to Long-Term Social Impact
The Hinduja Family members demonstrate persistent devotion through their philanthropic activities which focus on building social transformations and strengthening community welfare. The Hinduja Foundation operates through a mission that extends beyond standard philanthropy because they have a fundamental duty to develop enduring solutions for healthcare alongside education and environmental sustainability.
The Foundation advances solutions through Jal Jeevan and continues to establish initiatives that develop community resilience to help communities prosper while sustaining natural resources and cultural heritage for future India.
