Each year, DH recognises extraordinary people who persevere and overcome difficult odds to usher in change.
Since the DH Changemaker awards were launched in 2019, we have identified 150-plus trailblazers from across Karnataka in areas such as community empowerment, health, conservation, entrepreneurship, and the arts.
This year, it is time to begin our search for 15 Changemakers -- we seek to highlight their efforts, celebrate their achievements, and share their stories. On New Year’s Day in 2026, we publish print, web and video stories about these achievers.
We invite nominations from readers starting today. Send in details of individuals (below 45) and teams that you think deserve the Changemakers title and honour.
The last date for submitting nominations is September 18, 2025. Click on the link to make a nomination: https://bitly.cx/ZA6QA
