Our NGO empowers marginalized communities, especially Dalits, by ensuring access to education, livelihood, and dignity, building a just, inclusive society rooted in equality and self-reliance.

The Tambaram Community Development Society (TCDS), established in 1985 by a group of like-minded Dalit social workers, is committed to empowering marginalized communities, especially Dalits, in Chengalpattu and Kancheepuram districts. Guided by a seven-member executive committee including three women—the organization works through participatory processes to ensure justice, equity, and dignity for disadvantaged women and girls. TCDS envisions a society where the oppressed can access education, livelihood opportunities, and self-governance. The mission centers on fostering self-respect and self-reliance among the marginalized. Regular quarterly meetings ensure inclusive decision-making and transparent governance. Through development initiatives, TCDS strives to uplift the poor and provide relief and rehabilitation support.
