AADIVASI ABHIVRUDHI – DK AUSTRIA (Sustainable Tribal Livelihoods)

Backed by DK Austria, the AADIVASI ABHIVRUDHI program aims to promote sustainable livelihoods for tribal communities facing poverty, unemployment, and lack of basic services. The program directly supports 3,000 tribal individuals and works alongside ITDA, KVK, and local governance bodies. Focused on entrepreneurship, skill development, and entitlement access, it has already seen 12 beneficiaries launch small businesses and 20 families adopt kitchen gardening for improved food and income security. It has also helped 50 individuals access government entitlements, and 150 SHGs have been trained in sustainable practices like mushroom cultivation, palm leaf products, and natural farming.
