“I am very humbled to be standing with the top 20 honorees for their excellent work for society. My desire to help society empowers me to do Seva. I face challenges every day but I find ways to address them so I stay focused on my life’s goal which is to serve society to the best of my ability. I would continue to empower women and girls through my organization SAWAO (South Asian Wot Activities Organization) as empowerment is the key to economic growth, political stability and social transformation in every country. I assure you that with respect to this award, I will work harder in the future to be worthy of this honor,” said Suhag Mehta.
