About This Cause

PRADAN is one of India’s foremost agencies working on large scale rural poverty alleviation. Given the deep deprivation in rural pockets, particularly among tribal and vulnerable groups, we promote sustainable livelihoods especially farm-based livelihoods integrated with work on issues of gender, governance and access to rights and entitlements. Founded in 1983, PRADAN has played a design improvement role in all major programs like the Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP), National Rural Employment Programme (NREP), Swarnajayanti Gram SwarojgarYojana (SGSY), Nehru Rozgar Yojana (NRY), and National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) and MGNREGA to improve the field implementation of the Government of India’s (GoI) rural development programs. PRADAN is the National Support Organisation to NRLM, the flagship rural development programme. PRADAN has helped promote sectoral Institutions like Tasar Development Foundation (TDF) and National Smallholder Poultry Development Trust (NSPDT), for small landholders which are among the largest organized efforts in the country. PRADAN’s innovations are adopted by government and civil society organizations at the national, state and local levels. As of March 31, 2020, PRADAN works with over 862,300 families in >8,600 villages spread across 36 districts in 7 States, ~65% of who belong to the most vulnerable groups such as Dalits and Tribal (indigenous community). PRADAN has been at the forefront of innovations in rural livelihoods.
