The National Dalit movement for Justice (NDMJ-NCDHR): NDMJ-NCDHR is a democratic, secular, non-party movement of Dalit survivors, defenders, academics, organizations headed by Dalits to initiate advocacy and involve in mass action to address the issues of caste based discrimination (CBD) and violence (primarily untouchability and atrocities) to ensure dignity, equality and justice. It is one of the four movements that comprise the National Campaign for Human Rights (NCDHR). It has presence in 17 states across India to organize, educate and mobilize the Dalit community, organizations and civil society to promote and protect civil and political rights of Dalits. In capacity of a Dalit/Adivasi focussed entity, National Dalit Movement for Justice (NDMJ) have been undertaking the Fact Findings and following up the atrocities against Dalit/Adivasi taking place across different parts of the country.
National Coalition of Strengthening of SC/ST POA Act (NCSPA) : NCSPA is started with a small gathering by a shared concern over the growing number of atrocities matched by the poor implementation of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in the year 2009 on the occasion of twentieth anniversary of the PoA act. It has since grown into network of around 500 Dalits, Adivasi and supportive human rights organisations and individuals spanning 15 states in India. Likewise, from an agenda to amend and enforce the PoA Act, the coalition has widened its call to end all atrocities and to stop ‘untouchability’, caste and ethnicity based discrimination.
