About IHRACC
Welcome to The IHRACC
The Indian Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Trust was officially founded in April 2008 by Mr. K.B. Kannan, a passionate advocate for justice, equality, and integrity in public life. Deeply moved by the rising instances of human rights violations and unchecked corruption in both public and private sectors, Mr. Kannan envisioned an organization that would give ordinary citizens a platform to raise their voice, seek justice, and contribute to building a more transparent and compassionate India.
The Trust was registered and headquartered in Kalpakkam, Neithavoyal Post, Ponneri Taluk, Thiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu, with a clear focus on human rights awareness and anti-corruption initiatives.
Its founding principles were rooted in the Indian Constitution, particularly in Articles 21 and 22, which protect the life and personal liberty of every individual. Mr. Kannan firmly believed that when these rights are denied or violated, it becomes the moral duty of civil society to act.
From its early days, the Trust took a multi-dimensional approach to social justice. It began by conducting awareness programs in rural and urban areas, organizing legal aid camps, helping the poor access government schemes, and offering financial support to the elderly, children, and economically weaker sections.
Recognizing that corruption is both a cause and a consequence of human rights violations, the Trust positioned itself as a dual-action body—addressing both issues simultaneously.
