Vision Statement

HDRC exists to promote and strengthen the people’s organizations & movements of the marginalized / discriminated / excluded communities to achieve social justice and dignity within human rights frame work and democratic mechanisms of the Indian Constitution.

The Vision of HDRC is translated while working for Development, Rights and Empowerment of Dalits, Tribals, Other Backward Classes, Religious Minorities, Women and Children.

To carry out its mission, HDRC combines two important aspects of developmental strategy:

(i) Active involvement and direct intervention at the grassroots level with Right based, Empowerment and inclusion approaches;

(ii) Conceptualizing major strategies based on ‘Action – Reflection – Action cycle’ or ‘knowledge based action’, in which caste, class, gender, poverty and illiteracy are cross-cutting frameworks used for analysis through academic courses, research, training and critical reflection.
