Bio:
People’s Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) was established in 1996 as a membership based human rights movement in Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), one of the most traditional, conservative and segregated regions in India. PVCHR works to ensure basic rights for marginalised groups in Indian society, e.g. children, women, Dalits and tribes to create a human rights culture based on democratic values. PVCHR ideology is inspired by the father of the Dalit movement, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, who struggled against Brahmanism and the caste hierarchical system that prevails in India. In 1999, PVCHR formed the public charitable trust Jan Mitra Nyas (JMN) to monitor and evaluate activities, to operate a bank account and to enable the organisation to have official clearance for receiving grants.

We highlight the voice of weavers at the national and international level. We also empower groups to speak out and bring forward their issues and challenges. We build a democratic structure for the ‘Voiceless’ to enable access to the constitutional guarantees promoting a human rights culture.

Margins to Centre Stage : Empowering Dalits in India
