Detailed Solution

Mahatma Gandhi had termed the Dalits as Harijans by likening them to the people of god. In order to end untouchability in India, Mahatma Gandhi formed the non-profit organization ‘Harijan Sevak Sangh’ in 1932. The organisation worked to improve the status of Depressed Classes of India (the so-called Harijan or Dalit population).
