The foundation said in a statement that it actively engages in advocacy, meetings, seminars, conferences, training, and research to ensure the inclusive and proportional representation of the Dalit community across all state structures, including the executive (government), judiciary (courts), and legislature (parliament).
Chairperson Darnal highlighted the foundation’s mission to organize Dalit rights activities, foster coordination and harmony, and work toward an egalitarian society.
