About Us

About Us

Welcome to Jaagruk Mumbai — your trusted source for citizen-centric journalism in the heart of India’s most dynamic and diverse city. We are more than just a news platform; we are a movement committed to fostering awareness, accountability, and active citizenship in Mumbai.

Our Vision

At Jaagruk Mumbai, we envision a city where every citizen is informed, every voice is heard, and every issue that impacts our daily lives is brought into the light. The word “jaagruk” means “aware” in Hindi, and that is the foundation upon which our platform is built. We believe that awareness is the first step toward empowerment—and that a well-informed citizen is the strongest pillar of any democratic society.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide accurate, relevant, and impactful news coverage that empowers Mumbai’s citizens to engage with their city meaningfully. We aim to spotlight the challenges and celebrate the triumphs of everyday Mumbaikars. Whether it’s issues of civic infrastructure, environmental sustainability, public health, education, or social justice, we believe in reporting stories that are rooted in truth and driven by purpose.

We strive to be a voice for the voiceless, a platform for unheard stories, and a bridge between citizens and the systems that serve them. In a time when sensationalism often overshadows substance, Jaagruk Mumbai is committed to ethical journalism that informs, educates, and inspires.

Who We Are

Jaagruk Mumbai was founded by a collective of journalists, social activists, and local citizens who saw the need for a more engaged, transparent, and community-driven approach to journalism. Our team includes experienced reporters, photographers, writers, fact-checkers, and contributors from various walks of life—all united by a shared belief in the power of awareness.

We work independently and collaboratively with grassroots organizations, local civic bodies, youth groups, educators, and community leaders to bring forward the stories that matter most. Our reporting style is data-informed, people-focused, and always guided by journalistic integrity.

What We Cover

Mumbai is a city of contrasts—where tradition meets innovation, where immense wealth exists alongside deep poverty, and where community resilience shines through daily challenges. Our coverage reflects this complexity:

  • Civic Issues: From potholes to water shortages, we report on the day-to-day concerns that impact residents across the city’s wards.

  • Governance and Accountability: Tracking policies, budgets, and decisions made by BMC, state government, and local MLAs and MPs.

  • Environment: Highlighting pollution, climate resilience, green initiatives, and local environmental movements.

  • Health and Education: Covering the state of public hospitals, municipal schools, and grassroots health campaigns.

  • Transport and Infrastructure: Analyzing the impact of projects like the Metro, Coastal Road, BEST services, and more.

  • Human Interest and Community Stories: Uplifting stories of everyday heroes, social workers, and citizen-led change.

  • Public Safety and Law: Crime reports, police-community engagement, and legal awareness campaigns.

Our Values

  • Transparency: We believe in honest, open reporting and clarity in our editorial processes.

  • Inclusivity: We give voice to all communities, regardless of class, caste, gender, or religion.

  • Responsibility: We publish verified information and avoid clickbait or sensationalism.

  • Engagement: We encourage citizen participation and invite Mumbaikars to be part of our reporting process.

Our Impact

Over the years, Jaagruk Mumbai has helped amplify critical issues and bring them to the attention of relevant authorities. Our investigative stories have prompted responses from municipal departments, and our citizen-reporting initiatives have helped highlight hyper-local problems that are often ignored by mainstream media. We also conduct workshops on media literacy, citizen journalism, and fact-checking for students, residents, and community leaders.
