Our Mission
In 2008, cotton farming was the sole livelihood for farmers in water-scarce Gujarat. Mr Savji Dholakia identified this issue and decided to bring about a positive change. He began developing lakes or "Sarovars" in the area.
Today, the Dholakia Foundation has developed 124 lakes and planted 2.5 million trees in barren regions, promoting sustainable development.
The foundation works as a sustainability development foundation in India and provides the necessary resources and support to transform the lives of farmers and their families. Their efforts have had a positive impact on the environment and society.
