Pipalantri: SJ Media and Entertainment announced the release of the film ‘Shyam Sundar Paliwal’ directed and written by Rahul Kumar Shukla. The film was first screened at a prestigious event in Pipalantri in presence of many dignitaries including Minister of State for Cooperation and Civil Aviation Gautam Kumar Dak, Rajsamand MP Mahima Kumari Mewar and Rajsamand MLA Deepti Maheshwari.
The premiere celebrated the life and achievements of Padma Shri awardee Dr. Shyam Sunder Paliwal, whose inspiring journey is depicted in the film. Available in Rajasthani and Haryanvi languages, the film is now streaming on the Stage OTT platform, making it accessible to audiences across the world.
‘Shyam Sunder Paliwal’ is the remarkable story of Dr. Paliwal, who, inspired by the memory of his late daughter who died of dehydration in 2006, transformed his village from a barren land to a green paradise.
His extraordinary efforts have set global benchmarks for environmental activism and community rejuvenation. Paliwal’s most notable contribution is his work in water management. Realizing that water scarcity was a major obstacle to development in Rajasthan, he focused on creating sustainable solutions that could be implemented at the community level.
His approach involved the construction of small-scale water harvesting systems, such as check dams, ponds and rainwater harvesting structures.
These systems are designed to collect and store rainwater, reducing dependence on unreliable and often remote water sources.
