The Godavari Initiative is a collective aimed at the sustainable management of the Godavari River Basin in Maharashtra. This initiative fosters partnerships between corporates, government, and civil society to tackle critical challenges in river basin health through benefit sharing, stakeholder engagement, and practical learning.
