Prabha's Smart Lakhpati Kisan program has provided answers to some of the most important queries on livestock management and sustainable farming. A significant push in this direction has been the provision of training on crop rotation, multi-cropping, organic practices, green manuring, building vermicompost pits, and technical irrigation advancements under the close supervision of ATMA, CINI Trust, and JSLPS. For many households, particularly PVTGs, kitchen gardens, paddy nurseries, fishing, lac cultivation, goat rearing, and backyard poultry have provided a stable source of income. These programs have given these weaker, marginalized groups a way to break free from the gloom of unstable finances.

Rural women have long been constrained by patriarchal norms and illiteracy, limiting their decision-making power and growth opportunities. In rural Jharkhand, the literacy rate for women is a meagre 46.6%, significantly lower than the national average of 58.8%. Overcoming gender inequality is essential, as women in rural India perform 66% of unpaid work, earn substantially less than men, and face limited access to resources and knowledge. Pravah is dedicated to bringing marginalised women from SC and ST communities into the mainstream of the rural economy. They facilitate bank linkages, credit access and support women's entrepreneurship. Through women's self-help groups and federations, Pravah empowers these women to plan and execute livelihood activities, fostering leadership and independence. The organisation's initiatives, including kitchen gardens, poultry farming, fisheries, and lac cultivation, have strengthened their communities' health, nutrition, and financial stability.

Due to illiteracy and poverty, access to government schemes in rural India is limited to 40% of the population. Pravah collaborates with local self-government entities and professionals for effective last-mile delivery of benefits. Health insurance remains inaccessible to 90% of India's poorest, but Prabha works with frontline health workers to improve access. They also train Panchayati Raj Institution members, strengthen rural education, and promote community monitoring systems. Digital literacy is a priority to help rural communities access government benefits through e-governance portals.
