For February 2026, DBM India is proud to recognize Mayank Ketan Waghela as Volunteer of the Month for his dedication, enthusiasm, and meaningful contribution to community outreach.

Dear DBM Friends and Well-Wishers,

We are delighted to share some heartening and humbling news with you.

On 27th February, DBM was honoured as one of the 11 Angels of Mumbai by the Free Press Journal, in recognition of our impactful and path-breaking work in the city.

The awardees were selected by an eminent jury panel comprising:
• Justice S.J. Kathawalla, Retired Judge, Bombay High Court (Jury Chair)
• Ziaa Lalkaka, CEO, HT Parekh Foundation
• Chetna Gala Sinha, Founder, Mann Deshi Foundation
• Amita Chauhan, Board Member, Social Venture Partners India
• Archana Chandra, CEO, Jai Vakeel Foundation
• Vinti Lodha, Trustee, Lodha Foundation

The award was presented to us by the Mayor of Mumbai, Ms. Ritu Tawade.

During his address, Justice Kathawalla commended all 11 NGOs for their dedication and commitment to improving the lives of Mumbaikars. He then made a special announcement — from his personal capacity, he would extend an additional award to five of his favourite NGOs from among the eleven.

It was a moment of immense pride and gratitude when DBM was named as one of those five.

This double recognition is truly a testament to the transformative work being carried out by DBM. It would not have been possible without the unwavering support, encouragement, and blessings of our donors, friends, well-wishers, trustees, and our committed team members.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Free Press Journal, the esteemed jury members, and especially Justice Kathawalla for his generous and inspiring gesture.

This award is not just an honour — it is a responsibility. It strengthens our resolve and motivates us to continue this journey of growth, service, and meaningful impact.

With gratitude always,
Team DBM
