We work with women, farmers, tribals and youth on rural development, agriculture, skilling and economic inclusion, along with 15+ central and state government partners.

What are we solving for?
We are solving for households in poverty who are also financially and socially vulnerable through a targeted, multi-faceted, and sequenced model called the graduation approach, which has demonstrated that we can durably pull households out of poverty.
At The/Nudge Institute, we have been piloting this program for the past 3 years and are now scaling it across multiple states. Our purpose is to enable the most excluded individuals to become contributing members of the economy. We will
- Enable the government to adopt by providing research, design, and implementation support
- Continue to iterate on the program design to create impact at scale through our own implementation efforts
- Support more NGOs in adopting the graduation approach by offering technical expertise and capacity building
- Build evidence on the graduation approach to nudge governments to adopt at scale
- Develop technology solutions that enable NGOs and governments to adopt and implement the program at scale and with quality
