Our Mission
The Indian Institute of Dalit Studies was established on January 2002. Our mission is to fill the lacunae in the knowledge pertaining to issues of social exclusion and discrimination associated with caste, untouchablity, ethnicity, religious status and other group identities with a focus on marginalized groups in the Indian society. Our four basic objectives, which also figure IIDS main activities, are:
 
To undertake interdisciplinary and application-based research
Policy promoting research and consultation
To provide knowledge support to Dalit and other NGOs
To serve as a Resource Centre
