Ibtada, meaning "the beginning" in Urdu, is dedicated to empowering women and girls in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. It addresses the socio-economic challenges faced by marginalized communities, including Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Meo-Muslims. It focuses on women’s empowerment through self-help groups, financial inclusion, climate-resilient livelihoods, and entrepreneurship. It also champions girls’ education and leadership, striving to bridge gaps in resources, awareness, and gender equality.

Major Interventions:

Livelihood program focuses on enhancing the economic capabilities of women-led households through agricultural and allied activities. By providing modern farming equipment, such as drip irrigation systems and laser spray technology, and promoting best practices like Integrated Pest and Nutrient Management, it equips women with tools to improve productivity and income. Through crop demonstrations and the support of Krishi and Pashu Sakhies, farmers achieved higher yields and annual incomes ranging from ₹47,000 to ₹2,23,000. Additionally, the program supports animal husbandry ventures, including dairy, goat farming, and poultry, with veterinary services, training, and resources, empowering women to establish sustainable livelihoods.

To expand income-generation opportunities, Ibtada fosters women’s entrepreneurship by offering loans through self-help groups (SHGs) and training in marketing, record-keeping, and financial management. Women have established a range of micro-enterprises, including tailoring, grocery stores, and digital service kiosks. A stitching centre in Barodameo village further supports advanced skill development, training women in professional stitching techniques. By creating entrepreneurial avenues, Ibtada enables women to gain financial independence, improve their social standing, and contribute to their communities.

Girls’ Empowerment program provides adolescent girls and young women with safe spaces and platforms for learning, leadership development, and mutual support. It includes Girls’ Resource Centres, Life Skills Education, Computer Education, Career Assistance, and Supplementary Education in subjects like Math and Science. Digital literacy, job-oriented training, sports activities, and health guidance are offered. Initiatives like Boys’ Resource Centers, young married women’s groups, and entrepreneurship projects further enrich the program, fostering gender sensitivity and economic independence.

Girls’ Education program began with Taleemshalas to reintegrate dropout girls into government schools and has since expanded to include various initiatives. These include Shikshashalas, which offer supplementary classes in Math, Science, and English, and the development of smart schools to improve learning environments. In partnership with LeapForWord, Ibtada enhances English language skills among students and provides training for teachers to support literacy efforts. Programs like Shiksha Ki Udaan offer safe transportation and financial aid, enabling girls to pursue higher education.
