🧱 Dalit Dignity Upliftment Project

The Dalit Dignity Upliftment Project by Raining Cloud Trust is a focused initiative to uplift historically oppressed Dalit communities by providing them access to education, economic opportunity, legal support, and social dignity. This project aims to empower families living on the margins — often neglected by both public systems and society — through community-driven support, targeted outreach, and resource access. The program will operate under the “Social Justice & Empowerment” category as per NITI Aayog's NGO-DARPAN classification. This project is built on the values of equality, justice, and compassion.
