To self-sustain and self-operate their rights based interventions as well as to self-reflect their rights based issues and development benefits, the Apex groups is needed to be formed after a certain maturity of community groups. the Federation/ Apex groups are developed actually when Dalit and Adibashi people/ groups are able to run their rights based activities by themselves. When there minimize the discrimination in the society and whenever it is supposed to create their equal accessibility then the Apex groups are developed by DMSS to take a steering of Dalit and Adibashi groups.
Here, community based Dalit and Adibashi groups are organized to develop their macro group in name of Apex group starting at Upazila level. They also develop Upazila groups comprising all community groups and these Upazila groups finally form District level Apex group tends to develop the regional group. The Apex group is activated as the pressure group and it is larger platform of Dalit and Adibashi section for taking an unequivocal stand on the points of their rights and empowerment.
DMSS organizes regular meetings and trainings for Federation/ Apex group members for their planning on different ethical issues.
