Dear Visitor,
We, Navsarjan Trust, are a grassroots Dalit organization dedicated to ensuring human rights for all. Our mission is to eliminate discrimination based on untouchability practices; ensure equality of status and opportunities for all, regardless of caste, class or gender; and to ensure the rule of law.
Of the many initiatives we run, we are working particularly hard to eradicate the practice of manual scavenging. We have created this website particularly to share in the successes of our work in this area. Featured you will find stories of individuals who belong to the manual scavenging community, but with the help of Navsarjan, have chosen to pursue alternative livelihoods. We invite you to take your time to read the stories and learn more about the work we have done.
For more information on manual scavenging, the caste system, or our organization, we invite you to look around this website, or to visit our main website (http://www.navsarjan.org).
Jai Bhim,
Manjula Pradeep
Executive Director, Navsarjan Trust
