Dalit indian chamber of commerce and industry 10th national meeting at hyderabad


The Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI) is an Indian association that promotes business enterprises for Dalits. It was founded in 2005 by Milind Kamble. The association has been criticised as seeking to find a small part in a capitalist economy that is founded on exploitation of economically underprivileged classes such as the Dalits themselves. Some of the key members of DICCI are Kalpana Saroj, Chandra Bhan Prasad and Rajesh Saraiya.
