Uttakhand Rural Livelihood Project (URLP)

Foundation is dedicated to a highly process-oriented program that requires intensive application of resources, both financial and human, in order to mobilize the poor into functionally effective institutions, promote their financial inclusion and diversify and strengthen their livelihoods.
This Program is a poverty alleviation program implemented by the Foundation that aims to organize the poor into ‘Institutions of the Poor' (Self Help Groups and their Federations) and make them capable of self-employment. 
Through the adoption of the ‘Livelihoods Approach’ to rural poverty elimination, the approach encompasses the following four inter-related tasks:
•    Mobilizing poor households into functionally effective SHGs and their Federations
•    Building capacities and skills for gainful and sustainable livelihoods development
•    Converging various schemes for efficient delivery of social and economic support services to poor households.
“To reduce poverty by enabling the poor households to access gainful self-employment and skilled wage employment opportunities in Uttarakhand, resulting in an appreciable improvement in their livelihoods on a sustainable basis, through building strong grassroots institutions of the poor.”
A progressive and empowered community, collectively contributing to social change and ensuring equity through holistic development.
