Abhinav provides help to the urban and rural poor in the areas of sanitation and skill development for vocational activities.

Key activities in 2014-15:

• Integrated Low Cost Sanitation Schemes (ILCS): A comprehensive design method for tropical conditions and communal usage is being encouraged by the Government under ILCS. The key elements under ILCS model propagated by Abhinav are component sharing, i.e. the user community is responsible for financing, implementing, and managing the internal components of the low-cost sanitation system (household latrines, lane sewers, and secondary sewer systems), while the local government is responsible for financing, implementing and managing the external components (trunk sewers, treatment and disposal works).
• Arise Training Centre: The organization has been running Abhinav Resources In Skill Enhancement (ARISE) Training Centre, through which rural people are being made independent. The Centre provided training to 705 beneficiaries as beauticians, in sewing and embroidery, and computer operations. In FY15, 358 beneficiaries received training, of which 18 opened their own beautician business, 8 opened their own computer centre, and 18 started their own sewing and embroidery work.
• Food Processing and Training Centre: Abhinav started this centre at Muzaffarnagar to help rural residents become independent. Earlier the organization provided training in making pickles, sauces, noodles, jam, jelly, and vinegar, but it now also provides training for grinding of spices, bakery products, canned products, etc. In FY15, Abhinav trained 223 people and inspired 14 people to become entrepreneurs.
• Flush and Pride Campaign: Under this campaign, the organization provides clean drinking water in rural and urban areas and encourages building toilets. Abhinav helped build toilets in the homes of families Below Poverty Line (BPL). During FY15, Abhinav built 61 toilets in various villages of Uttar Pradesh and also distributed 400 toilet cleaning kits.   
• Educational and infrastructural development in Government schools: Abhinav has adopted a Government school “Primary School Titawi 1” in district Muzaffarnagar. It provided the school with better facilities like installation of biometric machine for attendance, training facilities in different creative activities, developed school infrastructure, and provided students with educational facilities like school bags, stationery, and uniforms.
