Idea

The idea is aligned with the vision of Gram Swaraj & Antyodaya through dedicated programs to promote sustainable livelihoods by transforming the entrepreneurial ecosystem in rural and tribal Bharat. Abhay Saarthi & GLAD program are designed to accelerate this idea of transforming India to a developed nation.

Wellness for Livelihoods

The program is designed under name and title as ABHAY, a Hindi word means fearless, for providing holistic wellness for truck & other drivers in unorganised sector including gig economy. The program focuses on vision testing & correction, health checkup, upskill for compliances & fitness & linkages with social security schemes as per eligibility. The program evolved with Project Abhay for Truck drivers with IIT Delhi supported by Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Govt of India & implemented by Foresight Foundation.

The program wellness for sustainable livelihoods goes beyond drivers under ABHAY and expanded for workers in unorganised sector including artisans, craftsmen with special focus on women workers including SHGs members and workers of tea estates. The idea is to singularly focus on vision correction as vision impairment has far-reaching consequences for individuals, their families and their livelihoods.

Abhay Health Camp Model

Enterprise Development for Livelihoods

The program envisioned to promote rural enterprises to create network of enterprises at district level. Based on the ground experience of working with rural communities, Foresight has developed a outcome led program under the name and title as Grassroot Level Action for Development (GLAD).The motto of GLAD model is to promote inclusive model of development leading to happy communities with economic independence.

A district-level intervention Udyam Samvardhan Kendra that focuses on incubating rural enterprises, like the Startup India model, can revolutionize economic growth in villages. The Udyam Samvardhan Kendra is nothing but a Business Incubation Centre at the district or Cluster level to provide all kinds of support to the network of enterprises in rural Bharat. The incubation model will
be specifically tailored for rural enterprises to provide a sustainable and interconnected network of small businesses. By offering guidance, skilling, support, mentoring and resources at the local level,we can empower rural & tribal communities to establish successful enterprises. This intervention will
not only uplift rural livelihoods but also contribute to the nation’s broader economic growth. The special focus would be to promote Women Led Enterprises as part of GLAD ecosystem.
