Our Team 
When many hands work together, even herculean tasks become simple. The collective and synchronised nature of our work has been the pillar of Salaam Baalak Trust's Delhi achievements. Making a humble beginning with three staff members, Salaam Baalak Trust Delhi has now grown into a team of over 280, united by clarity and commonality of thought and ideology.
Trustees: The Trust is headed by a Board of Trustees. They constitute an integral part of the Salaam Baalak Trust team. The Trustees of SBT do not receive an honorarium or salary yet manage to invest quality time for the children and the administration of the Trust.
Their commitment and dedication stem from their keen interest and hands-on involvement in the organisation's operations. This inspires the staff members to give their best.
The Board of Trustees leads by example through their guidance and hands-on support. They ensure their participation in weekly Saturday meetings to get a detailed understanding of the problems faced and facilitate the resolution of these issues. The Trustee team is composed of Dr. Praveen Nair (Chairperson Emeritus), Dr. Sanjoy Roy (Founder-Trustee), Ms. Gagan Singh, Ms. Geetan Batra Tejpal, Mr. Anubhav Nath, and Mr. Ashok Pal Singh.
