Chennai, today!
Why and how to help us?
Over the years, POPE organized the Dalit community for development through the formation of youth groups, formation of self help groups and community groups, non- formal vocational training, children’s development programme, Dalit movement building, fighting for the rights of Dalits, training, awareness development, Tsunami relief and rehabilitation etc.
Though we have achieved tangible results for the Development of the Dalit community, what we have achieved is not sufficient. Miles to go before the journey of development ends. We had a review and evaluation of what we have done, what we were unable to do, what we have failed, the strengths and weaknesses of POPE. In the light of this, we want to achieve the following objectives in the next decade. The experience what we had during the last 2 decades is the stepping-stone to reach the objectives of 3rd decade.
