Scheduled Castes Development Department (SCDD): A Pillar in Social Upliftment
The Scheduled Castes Development Department holds a vital position in fostering the social and economic empowerment of historically marginalized
communities. Emerging as a committed institution towards equality and inclusive growth, the department's roots trace back to the early 20th century.
In its initial phase, various welfare initiatives were introduced in a structured manner to address the needs of Scheduled Castes across Kerala.
The department officially began its organized operations in the year 1960, from a modest office space in Thiruvananthapuram, marking the beginning
of a determined journey towards social justice and development.
