What We Do
— Research
We conduct research on emerging issues affecting the rights and well-being of Indigenous Peoples, collaborating with other organizations, academic institutions, and civil society to promote interdisciplinary and evidence-based approaches.
— Advocacy
IRAC undertakes strategic advocacy to advance the rights of Indigenous Peoples. It supports Indigenous rights movements, raises awareness of key issues, and strengthens communities’ capacity to claim their rights under the Constitution, domestic law, and international human rights standards.

We make timely and effective interventions on rights violations of the indigenous peoples in India. The interventions are both at the legal, quasi legal and policy level.
— Capacity Building
We conduct training and capacity-building programmes for Indigenous students, youth, communities, and organizations to strengthen their knowledge and skills to protect and promote Indigenous Peoples’ rights.
— Legal Support
We provide free legal advice, representation, and support to victims of human rights violations, including legal assistance for community-led actions to protect Indigenous Peoples’ rights.
— Collaboration & Solidarity
IRAC builds collaborative partnerships with Indigenous organizations, human rights defenders, and like-minded civil society organizations to protect, promote, and advance the rights of Indigenous Peoples/tribals and other marginalized communities
