The mission of IGS is “Incubating Innovations for Pro-Poor Sustainable Livelihoods”. Harbouring the vision of “Kaayam Rojgar, Khush-haal Pariwar” (Sustainable Livelihoods, Prosperous Households) for its impact communities, IGS explores opportunities for promoting and sustaining livelihoods through initiatives across sectors. Over the years, IGS has worked actively on community development and livelihood enhancement in different ecosystems and on diverse themes such as natural resource management, improved agricultural practices, livestock management, forest-based livelihoods, non-farm micro-enterprises, and renewable energy. IGS works with poor and marginalized communities, living in rural and forested areas. As part of its initiatives, IGS has worked with diverse community segments, viz. adolescent girls and young women, small and marginal landholders, the landless, small, micro and nano-entrepreneurs, and various types of community-based institutions (co-operatives, farmer producer groups, self-help groups), NGOs and Community Based Micro Finance Institutions (CBMFIs).
