Empowering Families in Rural Areas Through Sustainable Livelihood :

Creating self-reliant communities by building skills, promoting entrepreneurship, and strengthening rural economies.

Across Rural Areas in India, families have the will to work hard — but often lack access to the right opportunities, skills, and resources to turn that effort into sustainable income.

Team Gramonnati Seva Pratishthan (GSP), we believe that every individual in rural areas deserves the dignity of productive work and the chance to build a better life. Our Livelihood Services are designed to transform potential into progress — empowering women, youth, and farmers to earn, grow, and thrive.

About Our Livelihood Mission :

Livelihood is the backbone of rural development. When a person gains stable income, it not only transforms their household — it strengthens the entire community.

Gramonnati Seva Pratishthan’s Mission is to create pathways for Sustainable, Inclusive, and Dignified Livelihoods that uplift families out of poverty and build long-term resilience.

We focus on building local capacity, promoting entrepreneurship, and enabling people to take control of their economic future — in line with Sustainable Development Goal : Decent Work and Economic Growth.

The Challenge: Rural Livelihood Gaps:

In many villages across India, people rely on seasonal agriculture or daily wage labor for survival.
Unstable income, lack of training, and limited access to finance keep rural families trapped in poverty.

Women often face additional barriers — limited mobility, social restrictions, and lack of ownership over economic assets.
Youth, on the other hand, struggle to find jobs that match their aspirations and skills.

Team GSP, we aim to change this reality by empowering people with Skills, Knowledge, and Resources to create livelihoods that are Sustainable, Rewarding, and Future-ready.

 Our Core Livelihood Interventions:

We approach livelihood development from a 360-degree perspective — focusing on skill, self-employment, entrepreneurship, and sustainability.

Our Approach:

Our approach is built on the belief that True Empowerment Begins at the Grassroots.

• Community-Led: Local groups and volunteers identify needs, plan activities, and drive implementation.
• Inclusive: Focus on women, youth, marginalized, and smallholder farmers.
• Collaborative: Partnerships with government departments, CSR organizations, and financial institutions.
• Sustainable: Building local ownership and capacity to ensure long-term impact beyond project cycles.

Impact in Numbers:

• 10,000+ families benefitting from livelihood initiatives.
• 1,200+ women trained in entrepreneurship and income generation.
• 800+ youth skilled and linked to employment or self-employment.
• 60+ villages covered under sustainable agriculture and enterprise programs.

Each number represents a life transformed — a family with new hope and a community on the path to progress.

Partners and Collaborations:

We work hand-in-hand with:

• Government agencies such as NRLM, NABARD, and the Department of Rural Development.
• Corporate CSR partners supporting women’s empowerment and skill-building projects.
• Financial institutions and training centers for credit and capacity building.
