Arghyam

Arghyam is a public charitable foundation setup with a personal endowment from Rohini Nilekani and working in the water sector since 2005. Our mission is "Enough water, safe water ... always and for all".

Arghyam seeks to support strategic, equitable and sustainable efforts in the water sector that address basic water needs for all citizens. Arghyam's strategy is integrated around five focal areas ie. Project Grants, Urban Water Initiative, India Water Portal (www.indiawaterportal.org) Research and Advocacy and Government Partnerships. So far we have supported around 35 projects spread across 12 states of India, worth $4.2 million (approx). We emphasize sustainability - environmental, financial, social and technical - as the key desirable outcomes in all projects we support.
