1.1 Introduction

         In the contest of social discrimination exited in the society, Dalit, women; PVSE (Poor Vulnerable and socially excluded) and marginalized groups have been victimized with different domains of visible and invisible bias. Therefore, people of these groups have been backward and excluded to utilize their rights.  People of these groups such Dalits, women, adolescents, poor, excluded castes and people with disability have been living under discriminatory oppressions for years. Therefore, Dalit Social Development Center Kapilvatu was registered at District Administration Kapilvatu in 2061 (B.S.) in order to organize and aware to those people to advocate for their rights and to fight against their poverty.

The fulfillment of this need is possible only through a balance between the devotional side, which considers external happiness and satisfaction, and the spiritual side, which considers inner happiness, as intermediate. In the context of the need for strong civic organizations to support local people-oriented development initiatives for the welfare of the people and to promote local development efforts, the Government of Nepal is committed to building sustainable development and building a self-reliant Dalit society. The organization aims to build a fully democratic non-violent, egalitarian society based on humanity, cosmopolitanism, non-violence and coexistence, without any discrimination on the basis of gender, caste, caste, untouchability and religion.
