Women and Dalit Empowerment

Women and Dalit Empowerment: Rural Development Trust (RDT) is dedicated to empowering women and Dalit communities in the Madhubani, Darbhanga, and Supaul districts of Bihar. These marginalized groups have long faced social exclusion, economic deprivation, and limited access to education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities. RDT works at the grassroots level to break systemic barriers, promote equality, and uplift these communities through sustainable interventions.

Our Mission & Objectives

We believe in a just, equitable, and inclusive society where every individual, regardless of caste or gender, has the right to education, economic independence, healthcare, and dignity.

Key Focus Areas:

• Economic Empowerment – Vocational training, skill development, self-help groups (SHGs), and microfinance initiatives for women and Dalits.
• Education & Leadership – Adult literacy programs, scholarships for girls, and leadership training to build confidence and self-reliance.
• Health & Well-being – Maternal health programs, menstrual hygiene awareness, and access to healthcare services.
• Legal Rights & Social Justice – Awareness campaigns on legal rights, gender-based violence (GBV) prevention, and access to legal aid.
