Many NGOs welcome the efforts of volunteers. Contact the UNDP office in Mumbai and ask them if they have a list of NGOs working in Mumbai, or if they know of such a list. Also try the Mumbai offices of Oxfam, Save the Children, CARE International and UNICEF for a list of NGOs in Mumbai, even just a list of organizations they work with there.
You need to identify what it is you want to do as a volunteer or as a staff member for these organizations. What skills do you have that would be of benefit to these organizations?

I wanted to do this, but didn't have a degree in any field they were interested in. But perhaps you could first get your foot in the door by volunteering with a particular NGO you like, and then they might allow you to do some type of paid work. I have heard that sometimes they hire people without the qualifications if they've proved themselves first by volunteering. Good luck.
