One of the most distinctive features of Indian society is its division into various caste groups. Membership in the caste group is conferred by birth. The members of each caste, residing in specific areas, have common customs and more or less a similar way of life. There is a variation in the kind and number of castes but due to hierarchical stratification, the highest and lowest caste is easily identifiable. The Brahmins are considered to be the higher caste and the lowest rank in the caste hierarchy was called the lower castes. Under this research, the researcher has mainly focused on the Scheduled Castes among the lower caste. The present research attempted to examine the changing socio-cultural practices among SCs and the role of various rural development programmes in the Prayagraj districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
