Karnataka’s homegrown English daily from the house of The Printers (Mysore) Deccan Herald presented the sixth edition of DH Changemakers on 19 January. In the 2024 edition, it recognised 15 Changemakers who it says have left an indelible mark on society. These are humble heroes who quietly shape the world, and the aim is to bring their stories to the forefront. A special episodic airing of this felicitation ceremony will air on Asianet Suvarna News.
The Changemakers have made a lasting impact on communities across the fields of entrepreneurship, theatre, dance, conservation, governance, sport and digital rights.
“These individuals perfectly embody our tagline ‘The Power of Good’ as they make a positive difference to lives around them by their own work or by serving as an inspiration,” said The Printers (Mysore) CEO Deccan Herald Sitaraman Shankar editor.
Following a striking pullout released on the first day of 2024, and ideos released through January, Deccan Herald shone the light on the Changemakers in a felicitation ceremony at Bengaluru International Centre on 19 January, 2024. The changemakers’ stories were showcased at the event in the presence of the members of the Jury – Captain GR Gopinath, MD Pallavi, Nemichandra and Rahamat Tarikere.
Chief Guest of the event – Hon’ble Justice B.S.Patil, Lokayukta, State of Karnataka during the ceremony mentioned, “ This is a very revealing, reviving and inspirational event. I realised the meaning of Changemaking by looking at their work. Surpassing their challenges and limitations they have showed a different result for us.
All these 15 persons are achievers and Changemakers and can teach us so much. The Constitution speaks of social transformation, equality, reducing disparity between haves and the have nots. I was seeing the Constitution in practice today.”
As in past years, the Changemakers franchise offers sponsors a great way to connect with readers and viewers, through a logo presence and integrations in the pullout, in the videos and at the event. This year the activity was supported by Mahindra, Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, Vista’s Learning, Manipal Hospitals and Vasavi MSCM Co-operative Bank.
The company added that the property, which was started in January 2019, has an unbeatable feel-good aura to it, celebrating as it does remarkable achievers from every corner of the state, and brands have come forward in increasingly larger numbers.
