Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and storage of rainwater for reuse on-site, rather than allowing it to run off. We are collecting rainwater from roofs, the water collected is redirected to a deep pit or borehole, a reservoir with percolation. It is used for gardens, and domestic use with proper treatment. The harvested water can also be used as drinking water, for longer-term storage, and for other purposes such as groundwater recharge.

Waste management is the need of the current world to secure the future of the next generation. We are recycling PET bottles to make products such as office bags, T-shirts and also used for roads.

Disaster Response

In August 2019, during the devastating flood fury in Maharashtra, the group and the foundation worked relentlessly day and night. Sanjay Ghodawat Foundation, under the stewardship of philanthropist Mr. Sanjay Ghodawat, had provided great assistance to thousands and helped bring normalcy in the flood-affected regions of Kolhapur, Sangli, and Miraj.

The foundation displayed unmatched valour, courage, and approach during the 2019 flood havoc in Maharashtra. Our volunteers while risking their lives, helped thousands of people to relocate to a safer place and protected thousands of precious lives which otherwise would be in a danger. Sanjay Ghodawat Foundation’s emergency bus services and toll-free number proved to be a lifesaver for many.

SGF had set up a coordinating team comprising plenty of volunteers who actively provided vital relief material and assistance all the time including free food, shelter, medical facilities, ambulance services, clean water, clothes and much more. Mr. Sanjay Ghodawat himself traveled to the flood-affected regions and successfully mentored the whole rescue and relief operations smoothly.
