WHo We Are?

Samari Utthan Sewa (SUS) is a non-government and not for profit making organization founded by a group of youths from the Dalit community. Since its inception in 2008, it has been working to ensure the rights of Dalits and other minority groups based on caste, gender, sexuality, and FoRB. It is registered with the District Administration Office (DAO) of Chitwan under registration number 73, in accordance with the Social Welfare Act 1992 and Social Welfare Rules 1992. Furthermore, SUS is registered with the Social Welfare Council under registration number 24740 and has secured a tax exemption certificate from the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) of Nepal, with PAN number 302808852.

 SUS recognises Mr Markku Voutilainen from Finland as an Honourable Member for his contributions to establishing the organisation. His pioneering efforts included initiating and personally overseeing the Uplift Project (UP) from 2005 to 2007. Following its completion, drawing from the practical experiences gained during a conflict situation and the inspiration from its results-oriented outcomes, a team led by Bimala Devi Gayak (See personal memoir of Bimala Devi Gayak)—including former project staff—was formed to establish the organisation.
