Welcome To Institute of Dalit Studies and Research
The Institute of Dalit Studies and Research (IDSR) is an academic organization which is composed of teachers, faculty, scholars and students who are interested on Dalit, Tribal and Marginal Study. It is a purely academic, non-profit and apolitical organization. Its aim is to create interest and consciousness in various disciplines, especially Dalit, Tribe and Marginal studies, among the faculties, scholars and students.

Therefore, ISDR invites you all to join the organization and participate actively in its all-upcoming activities.
