Arghyam Information

Arghyam is a public charitable foundation set up with an endowment from Rohini Nilekani. ‘Arghyam’ is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘Offering’. Our Vision is “Safe, sustainable water for all”. Our Mission is to strengthen the ability of the ecosystem to enable water security for 100 million people by 2023. We believe that India’s water quality and scarcity issues can be tackled using science and community participation. However, to be effective, this needs to be done at scale. We are working with partners, in the ForWater coalition to bring a digital approach to make visible, with trust –groundwater, people, and content in a way that allows us to strengthen community participation in water management, at scale.
