BRLF’s thematic technical support to CSO partners is majorly focused in 2 areas, Participatory Ground Water Management (PGWM) and Non-Pesticide Management based Agriculture.
The main objective of the program is to increase the reach of government welfare schemes and to address challenges in sectors such as education, health, nutrition and innovation in tribal areas, in order to ensure an integrated and focused approach to the socio-economic development of the Scheduled Tribes population in a coordinated and planned manner. Keeping in mind our core competence in the field of CSO facilitation and screening, MoTA has appointed BRLF to carry out a rigorous screening process for shortlisting proposals from different parts of the country on various themes such as education, health and innovation.
With the support of Arghyam, BRLF has implemented focused pilots on Participatory Groundwater Management (PGWM). On the ground, the implementation is carried out by the BRLF partners, with handholding support provided by technical partners in 20 pilot locations from 14 districts of 7 states.

BRLF-CSO partners are promoting various crops including, cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, and fruits to enhance the income and ensure food sufficiency among the tribal households. BRLF is encouraging its CSO partners to
adopt NPM (non-pesticide management) as
their strategy to implement their agricultural interventions. For the NPM approach, the BRLF is supporting a technical resource organization that provides support to its implementing partners, the Social Education Economic Development Society (SEEDS), in Virudhunagar district of Tamil Nadu.
