    The census 2011 ranked the 24 wards of Mumbai. M East having a population nearly 8 lac persons was the lowest (ranked 24th) in human development index of 0.05. The lowest span of life of 39 years. Highest infant mortality. High mother mortality. Several health hazards and lack of sufficient hospitals. The schools constructed near the Deonar dumping ground and the foul smelling Nalas affected the health of children. Drop out from school was high. Livelihood opportunities was limited, mostly in informal sector, long hours, low wages and little to dream for. In this land of despair stepped in Paramjeet Singh and his team of committed members of DBM. For 18 years, they have toiled hard to improve the lives of the children youth and women. Personal mentoring. Scholarships, vocational classes, sensitising and empowering the community to help themselves, DBM is a beacon of light to the community.
