Dalit empowerment

Dalit empowerment refers to efforts aimed at improving the social, economic, and political status of Dalits, who belong to the historically marginalized communities in India. Traditionally facing discrimination and exclusion due to the caste system, Dalits seek equal rights and opportunities. Empowerment initiatives include education, legal protection, land rights, and access to jobs, aiming to uplift their status and promote social justice. Various government programs and civil society efforts focus on raising awareness, fostering inclusion, and encouraging self-advocacy, ultimately seeking to eliminate caste-based discrimination and create a more equitable society.
