Six sectors, run as one system. Agriculture, forestry, environment, fisheries, waste and rural enterprise reinforce each other on the same ground, in Northeast India, Central India and tribal districts.
Each sector page carries the work, what has been delivered, how many people were reached and what is under way now. Dated field reports sit in Action Updates, and the geography sits under Where We Work.

Several figures describe different training cohorts and are deliberately kept separate to avoid double counting. Programme-level counts here trace to a named funder and a dated event; organisational totals are reported on the About and Home pages.
