Through its partnership with Child Rights and You (CRY), GVM has implemented various child rights programmes in rural Assam. These include creating child protection committees, promoting access to education, healthcare, and nutrition, sensitising communities about child rights, preventing child labour and child marriage, setting up child-friendly spaces, and organising recreational activities.

GVM’s Diversion Based Irrigation(DBI) attempts to divert canal water for agricultural purposes by building barrages. It helps in the control of the flow of water and also in conservation of this natural resource. It is also involved in providing agricultural inputs like soil health cards, crop planning and package of practices in addition to modern methods of farming to individual rural households to support their livelihoods.

Partnering with Google India, PMG Asia and Tata Trusts, GVM trains rural women (Internet Saathis) to use smartphones and the Internet, who then teach others in their communities. The programme provides digital literacy skills and internet access, enabling access to resources related to healthcare, education, finance, and government services.
