Satyamev Jayate Episode12 Review: Aamir Khan pledges to respect each drop of water

The second last episode of Aamir Khan’s popular show Satyamev Jayate chose to deal with the issue of water existing in India. In spite of being called water adequate country, the ‘aam janta’ of India, be it rural or urban, faces trouble to survive.

With interesting facts and figures, Aamir claimed that there can be a day where water will be as expensive as petrol. 

Known for the immense research, Satyamev Jayate lived up to its expectations even this time. The experience became gripping as Aamir revealed that even though 75 percent of earth is water, only 3 percent of water is useful out of which only 30 percent can be used for 700 crore humans and also animals.

The presence of farmers, architecture students made the entire chat show look real and true to life.

It was shocking, as Aamir revealed that there are rural parts of our country which witness deaths in sheer effort to get water to drink. Also, what grabbed attention was how people suffer in their own areas and need to walk for kilometers to fetch water every day.

The participation of various people, who have done their bit for their society when it comes to saving water, added the required emotional punch to the episode.

As the show proceeded, the interesting concept of rain water harvesting and its implementation in cities and villages gained momentum. The guests on the show claimed how the effort has made their life easy.

The host also emphasised on the importance of healthy water. Aamir also suggested solutions and precautionary measures towards quality drinking water.

A guest from Mumbai showcased that how rain water harvesting has provided a better lifestyle for people in a city like Mumbai. The method doesn’t just assure water, but better quality too. 

Aamir’s interaction with IPS officer Santha Sheela Nair helped draw light to how things changed in a city when the municipal and political support helped implement rain water harvesting.

The seriousness behind the issue and the magnitude at which it needs to be addressed is something the show explored. As the show came to its end, Aamir appealed to all his viewers to take an oath to respect each drop of water.  And, before signing off, he left the audience with an interesting question. Will you make an effort to rain water harvest?
