The Kerala State Development Corporation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Limited, established in 1972, is a development finance institution committed to the economic and social upliftment of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities in Kerala.

The Kerala State Development Corporation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Limited (KSDC) is a wholly-owned Government Company, incorporated in 1972 under the Companies Act, 1956. Since its inception, KSDC has been functioning as a prudent development finance institution committed to the socio-economic advancement and empowerment of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities in Kerala.

KSDC has consistently been at the forefront of the State’s initiatives for the holistic development of SC/ST communities through strategic interventions in various spheres of economic activity. Over the years, the Corporation has played a catalytic role, inspiring and enabling members of these communities—especially aspiring entrepreneurs—to participate in and benefit from mainstream economic growth.

Fully aware of the responsibility entrusted by policymakers, KSDC has remained steadfast in supporting the growing ambitions of entrepreneurs from historically marginalised communities. It strives to fulfill its constitutional obligation of providing credit support at affordable interest rates to economically disadvantaged yet enterprising individuals.

Through its comprehensive project financing activities across primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors, KSDC continues to empower SC/ST entrepreneurs to seize emerging opportunities in a rapidly evolving economy, thereby contributing meaningfully to inclusive and sustainable development.
