Mumbai will play host to a transformative evening on August 23, 2025, as the Rotary Club of Mumbai Downtown Sealand presents Jal Dhara, an ambitious event aimed at addressing critical water shortages in Palghar district. Set to unfold at Ravindra Natya Mandir in Prabhadevi, the night promises a blend of cultural richness and purposeful action.
With a legacy spanning 55 years, the Rotary Club has been instrumental in driving positive change across Maharashtra's tribal regions. 'Jal Dhara,' translates to 'stream of water,' a fitting name for the initiative that seeks to transform drought-stricken areas into thriving 'Model Villages' through innovative solutions like solar-powered tube wells.
The evening will feature performances by Nirmitee-The Creation, portraying the storied past of Palghar tribes through folk music and dance. In urging Mumbaikars to attend, the Rotary Club emphasizes personal participation as key to the event's success, with proceeds directed towards enhancing water access and agricultural education for marginalized communities.
