NACDOR VALUES - COMMITTED FOR CAUSE

Our existence is for the cause of the Dalits. We are fully committed to protect, promote, and further the interests and the well-being of Dalits in India. They are central to our agenda, initiatives, programmes and actions. We are committed to influence the agenda, processes, programmes, initiatives and actions of the government, private sector and civil society to make them inclusive, representative and accountable. We are committed to ensuring that Dalits are respected, encouraged and included in the scheme of things, existing or in the future.

REPRESENTATION

We are a representative body. We represent the interests of the Dalits locally, nationally and globally. Being a civil society platform, we represent the interests of the Dalits in Civil Society. We believe representation of Dalits at all levels in society, polity and economy can help India to accelerate its growth and wealth creation. Representation of Dalits at all levels will not only help the country in overcoming extremist violence, societal conflict and tensions, but will also help in improving its Human Development Index, human rights record and global presence.

TEAM SPIRIT

Team Spirit is the bedrock of building organisations and platforms. We believe that co-operation, trust and mutual respect across the communities, religion and regions are fundamental to the Team Spirit. This requires belief in the equal dignity of all. We promote talent, trust and team entrepreneurship.

COMMUNITY FOCUS

Being an integral part of the Dalit Community, our expertise lies in deep understanding about the sufferings, needs and aspirations of the Dalits. With this, we have been successful in moulding the Dalit Agenda from emotional rhetoric to hardcore reality.

We identify developmental gaps, strategic needs and required interventions to mobilize the community to complement governmental and non-governmental efforts to address these gaps and needs.

We engage with community to steer short-term, long-term and lasting solutions with the help, support and mentoring of our support organisations and fellow institutions.

We strongly believe that the Dalits need to be encouraged to overcome their self-exclusion. The collaboration of the Dalit Community and their organisations with larger civil society, government, and private sector will help them in overcoming their exclusion.

RESPONSIBILITY

Integrity to work leads to a better, secure and sustainable future of the community. We are honest and fair partners to our stakeholders. Promoting equal dignity of all, encouraging inclusion and striving for justice are the triple gems that we would like to have as key to our responsibility.

ENTERPRISING

We value the help and support of our solidarity organisations and agencies. We, however, consider that we need to lead through enterprise and innovation. We encourage initiatives, scholarship and orientation to creative solutions. No problem is too big, provided we know the problem well and have patience, industry and commitment to find the solution.

LEADERSHIP

NACDOR aspires to build and groom millions of leaders to enable each village and nook and corner of the country to build creative problem solvers. Leadership should have values, take decisions, understand societal priorities, analyze and solve problems and mix with people to appreciate their issues, concerns, and direct the energies of co-workers, colleagues and people with ease.
