Indian Grameen Services (IGS) is engaged in developing, pilot-testing, and incubating innovative livelihood promotion solutions for the poor. Their operations are broadly divided into two major thrust areas involving Grant-based development support and Fee-based business support services to augment, expand and achieve scales in the field of Livelihood promotion. IGS works with small and marginal farmers, tribal forest dwellers and women in and across India to help them enhance incomes through a four-pronged strategy.

Major Interventions:

Livelihood Triad Services: The aim is to promote and support microfinance and livelihood initiatives of the Community-Based Organisations (CBOs), community-based Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) and upcoming NGO-MFIs in India. IGS provides (i) Financial inclusion services like savings, credit, remittances, insurance, etc. (ii) Institutional development (iii) Technical support services like market linkages, skills to expand, support for collaborations, etc.  

Contingency Approach: IGS has been involved in development of new products and channels for extending financial services to poorer households. It first identifies the bottlenecks in achievement of sustainable livelihoods; thereafter it designs market-based solutions that address those challenges and constraints. The solutions that are developed often converted into tools and techniques as well as products and services, which are subsequently incubated as ready-to-integrate development models for use by other organizations engaged in livelihood promotion or as independent institutions at together.

Development Activities: Research & Development for identifying appropriate livelihood opportunities are carried out, and intervention points for supporting rural producers. In addition, IGS builds the implementation capabilities of various Institutions, enabling them to deliver cost-effective livelihood promotion activities, either directly or by collaborating with agencies that influence the livelihoods of a large number of people.

Agriculture & Natural Resource based Livelihood: Farmers owning small and marginal landholdings are the largest impact group that IGS caters to. The NGO works with rural, resource-constrained communities, farmers with marginal and small landholdings, and those dependent on forests for their day-to-day living aimed at integrated management of natural resources being the foundation for boosting sustainable food production and productivity, as they improve the overall ago-ecological environment for production, reduce risks for agri-producers, and ensure availability of key agri-inputs naturally.
