SJ Media and Entertainment has unveiled 'Shyam Sundar Paliwal,' a new film directed and written by Rahul Kumar Shukla. The film's debut was celebrated with a prestigious event in Piplantri, attended by influential figures such as Minister of State for Cooperative and Civil Aviation Gautam Kumar Dak, Rajsamand MP Mahima Kumari Mewar, and Rajsamand MLA Deepti Maheshwari.

The premiere honored Padma Shri awardee Dr. Shyam Sundar Paliwal, whose inspiring life story forms the backbone of the narrative. Available in Rajasthani and Haryanvi languages, the film is now accessible to a global audience through the Stage OTT platform.

'Shyam Sundar Paliwal' narrates the profound journey of Dr. Paliwal, who converted his drought-stricken village into a green oasis in memory of his daughter, who died in 2006. His groundbreaking work in water management has set a global standard for environmental activism.

Dr. Paliwal's key contribution lies in effective water management strategies. His initiatives include small-scale water harvesting systems like check dams, ponds, and rainwater structures, which have transformed water scarcity challenges in Rajasthan into sustainable water solutions.

These systems are designed to capture and store rainwater, thereby reducing the community's reliance on distant and unreliable water sources. (ANI)
