Since its inception in 2016, Transforming Rural India Foundation (TRIF) has been deeply focused on an integrated approach to village development to accelerate mobility across all generations. We believe in bringing solutions through multi-sector changes through engaging community-based institutes like Self Help Groups (SHGs), Panchayati Raj Institutes (PRIs) and Front-Line Workers (FLWs) together to closely work with the government.
 
TRIF works directly with more than one million people in 2000 villages across India’s poorest states and impacts close to over 60 million rural Indians through its formal engagement with governments at different levels.
Ministry of Rural Development (GoI) runs the largest global program focus on rural women with an aim of removing multi-dimensional poverty to support over 8.5 Cr poor women and their households. Recently the GoI has embarked on an ambitious program to strengthen community institutions, and support 2.5 crore women to become “Lakhpati Mahila”. The program is being spearheaded by the initiative “Deendayal Antyoday Yozna- National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM)”, in close convergence with several other government departments. Transforming Rural India Foundation, under a formal arrangement with the Rural Development Department of Govt of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh plans to take up intensive prototype development in selected districts in the State. The efforts under this initiative will contextualise and create local livelihood solutions, in addition to demonstrating implementation protocols for decentralized planning for livelihood promotion, govt. scheme convergence for livelihood asset creation, capacity enhancement around production skills, and most importantly strengthening the Cluster Level Federations (CLFs) for ensuring member participation and program implementation oversight. These pilots will inform policies relative to women's economic empowerment at the state & national levels.
