The 'Dharavi Diary Project' - a community based group which helps slum children infuse technology with innovation, has received the Google Rise Award- the only group to be selected in India, and among the three selected in Asia.

Founder Navneet Ranjan, who quit a lucrative job in San Francisco three years back, started the project after he felt things were not getting better any time soon. "I had made a film on these kids and when I returned to India I found that the conditions are the same, I decided to do something about it." What The Dharavi Diary does is, that it creates innovators instead of followers who solve their own community problems instead of relyin9- outsiders. Started with an all girls class of 15, the project now has more than 200 slum kids, who even have several apps on play store in their name.
