The contributions were announced at the DMRR 2025 prize-giving and donation handover ceremony. Speaking at the event, Dhiraagu’s Senior Manager of Corporate Social Responsibility said this year’s theme, “Help Protect Children, underscores the company’s continued commitment to child protection and community wellbeing.

According to Dhiraagu, the event was powered by renewable energy, with all electricity use fully offset, reflecting the company’s effort to make large-scale events more environmentally sustainable.
