The organisation has been vocalising its opposition to the upper class communities' discriminatory practices against the Dalits and other oppressed groups (who are constitutionally classed as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and other backward classes) for many years. Additionally, it has been stepping in to improve the situation of the latter by bringing them into the mainstream socioeconomic structure and lessening the atrocities and discrimination against them. The strategies we have used in this situation include lobbying and lobbies, community awareness, intervention, etc.
