Human Rights are those rights which are inherent in human existence and belong to all human persons irrespective of gender, race, caste, ethnicity, religion etc. The ‘Oxford Companion to Philosophy’ says that in their strongest sense, rights are justified claims to the protection of person’s important interests. Human rights are not the gift or bounty of any political superior. The laws are meant to reaffirm and recognize human rights and to provide the mechanism for their enforcement. The upholding of rights is essential for maintaining human dignity. The objective of the paper is to study how the NGOs can contribute for the welfare of the weaker sections, particularly the scheduled castes (SCs) and scheduled tribes (STs) women in respect of Human rights. The study is based on the primary data collected from a village ANANTHAPURAM of Marripadu Mandal SPSR Nellore Dt. The specific reason for choosing this village is that antiarrack movement was taken up by the women of this colony with the initiative of the NGOs “REMEDY”. The NGOs ‘Remedy’ has educated the women about their rights and as a result of this, Anti arrack movement has been emerged, and finally brought significant change in the socio-economic conditions of the poor SC and ST families.
