About Institute of Livelihood Research and Training (ILRT)

ILRT is a practice-based institution promoted by Basix Social Enterprise Group (BSEG). We have been mandated to build, develop and disseminate scientific knowledge on livelihoods that help strengthen and diversify livelihood portfolio of the socially and economically marginalised sections of the community. With a global presence, we work in ‘Pockets of Poverty’ in India and other developing countries on issues related to livelihood strengthening, diversification and promotion. We focus on enabling government agencies, corporate, NGOs and other like-minded organisations on livelihood promotion and strengthening. While our engagement with grassroots entrepreneurs, farmers and other stakeholders help us understand the issues better, we also engage with activities that positively influence the approaches and strategies at the policy level. Our mission is to “create an enabling environment for promoting dignified livelihoods for all and become a leading praxis institution in the field of livelihood promotion.” This, we have been pursuing through conducting applied research and sub – sector studies, training, designing curriculums, livelihood mapping and action planning, organising writeshops, conducting studies on value chain, skill mapping, labour market, informal sector. The Institute also has significant expertise and experience in livelihood resource mapping, providing accompaniment support and guidance.
