The focus of SHODH's work is on health, education and livelihoods for the vulnerable population. This is done through the direct implementation of projects that make these essentials available to those who need them. SHODH has been working with farmers and FPOs in the dry and semi-arid region to promote climate-smart agriculture promoting climate-resilient crops. SHODH is working with more than 1000 farmers directly and promoting millet crops. One of the key aspects of Shodh's work is incorporating a research-based approach to work and implementing evidence-based interventions. In addition, SHODH also focuses on research activities including, action research, formative and end-line evaluations and impact assessment studies to document learning and best practices from development initiatives for further replication and adaptation.
