The Centre will house and conserve various reports on Reservations, Commissions, Dalit movements, socio-economic and political empowerment of Dalits. It will also document those who dedicated their lives to Dalit movements and struggles.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Mahadevappa blamed liberalisation and privatisation for the gradual decline of the social justice system in our country.
