Who We Are

Empowering Tribal Communities Since 2002

RDC – Rural Development Council is a registered non-profit voluntary organization established in 2002 by a team of socially concerned people who internalized the need for creating lasting social change in the lives of vulnerable and socially most deplorable groups of Tribal and Dalit, with a prime focus on women and children — since 2002, in the rural villages in Wallajabad in Kancheepuram district and the hilly areas of Dankanikottai in Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu.

Our focus is on enabling women and children from these communities who are at risk of exploitation. Through integrated programs in health, education, and livelihood, we work to transform lives and build self-reliant communities.
