Take up India Initiative is a social endeavour intended to improve the quality of life of people. As quality is a word broader in concept, improving people’s physical, social and economic environment is what we strive for.. Models and approaches of interventions proven successful in the country are highlighted and introduced to the needy target groups. ‘Take up India’ does away with the paternalistic blue print approach to interventions. The success of any model depends on a high degree of fit between programme design, beneficiary needs and capacity of the assisting agency.

To achieve efficient and effective results, ‘Take Up India’ Initiative employs a five pronged approach: 1.Assesment of needs 2. Decentralised and Participatory decision making 2. Speed and flexibility in management 3. Cost effectiveness of programme packages 4. Monitoring and evaluation 5. Delivering desired results.
