    Shakti engages in diverse activities to improve livelihoods in rural areas. Its efforts focus on natural resource management (NRM) and food security, involving land, water, and forest management to ensure sustainability. Shakti supports communities in sustainable NRM through forestry, horticulture, agriculture, and water conservation. Alternative livelihoods such as fish farming and livestock development are encouraged. The organisation advocates for forest management through Village Forest Management Committees, successfully protecting substantial forest areas. Social Forestry and horticultural initiatives further enhance local incomes. Integrated Watershed Development aims to boost water tables, prevent soil erosion, and improve agricultural productivity. Shakti also promotes agriculture with specific crop cultivation, livestock development, and skill-building training for women and youth, leading to sustainable livelihoods for many households.
