Praveen Nair, mother of the celebrated film maker Mira Nair and the grandmother of Zohran Mamdani, the political star mayor of New York, has gone into eternity leaving behind a powerful legacy in the sector of child rights and child protection. I had hundreds of opportunities to meet and work with her since 1988 when she set up Salam Balak Trust (SBT) and we happened to create Prayas JAC Society.

Born out of a highly compassionate, authentic and creative portrayal of street children in the movie ‘Salaam Bombay’, in the hands of my friend Praveen SBT became one of the pioneering organisations for the deprived and street children.

I fondly recall this lady with her indomitable presence and effective management style, imagination and commitment to serve directly the most needy amongst the children, creating SBT as a powerful model in the sector.

As Dy. Commissioner of Police Crimes and Railways in Delhi (1985-90)when I had an opportunity to associate an NGO with the extremely vulnerable New Delhi Railway station children , Praveen along with Sanjay Roy were the obvious partners. Thousands of these children have been rescued, empowered and rehabilitated, getting into transformed lives under Praveen’s supervision.

Of the numerous contributions made by Praveen for the street, homeless and working children, the ‘Delhi & National Forums for Street and Working Children’ readily come to mind. Praveen was one of the prominent leaders in the voluntary sector wherein it was brought out in bold profile,’The Children Take the First Call.’
