| Credibility Statement |
"Akanksha is a rare testimonial
to Human Spirit and Initiative by the citizens of Mumbai.
Having developed and sustained a methodology that reaches
out to over 4000 underprivileged children, Akanksha provides
hope where there is not much to hope for and even less to
dream. Due to their endeavours we are confident that thousands
of underprivileged children will at least have a future.
DSP Merrill Lynch is proud and privileged to work closely
with this outstanding organization across a number of initiatives.
Akanksha has helped us in our endeavour to be socially responsible
and we are grateful to them for the association."
Hemendra Kothari
Chairman, DSP Merrill Lynch |

define focus areas and implement initiatives that move each
center closer to its vision of a "model center." Every six

year we compile a non-financial center audit.
