All India Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes Federation

The All India Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes Federation was an organization founded in 1949, aimed at advocating for the rights and welfare of India’s marginalized communities—specifically Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes—who faced social discrimination and economic hardships. It sought to promote social justice, equality, and political representation through mobilization and advocacy. The federation played a role in raising awareness about issues affecting these groups and worked to influence government policies to improve their conditions. It was an important step in India's efforts toward inclusive development and reducing social inequalities for historically deprived communities.
