Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation (LHWRF) is the social responsibility arm of Lupin Limited, founded by Dr. Desh Bandu Gupta in 1988. In its journey spanning over three decades, the foundation has impacted more than 1.47 million beneficiaries across 4700 villages in 24 districts, spread across eight states in India.

Throughout its journey, the foundation has primarily focused on creating sustainable livelihood opportunities and fostering economic growth in some of the most underdeveloped districts in India. It adopts a family-centered approach and initiates measures to help break the cycle of poverty, thus making a positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of the beneficiaries.

The key drivers of this economic development have been structured, long-term programs and interventions in areas such as agriculture, animal husbandry, women's empowerment, and rural industries.

The foundation collaborates extensively with various government and non-government partners, international development agencies, and like-minded philanthropic organizations to mobilize additional resources and extend its reach to even more isolated and underserved populations. This effort covers a large majority of landless tribal, scheduled caste, and minority populations in the target areas.

Appeal

The Agriculture-Based Livelihood Empowerment (ABLE) project, initiated by the Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation, aims to achieve a sustained increase of at least 25% in the average annual income of 20,000 farmers over three years.

This goal is pursued through, climate-resilient, and tech-enabled approach. The project focuses on enhancing farmers' knowledge of climate-resilient agricultural practices, strengthening the value chain of major commodities, and establishing four Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) to support the target group. It operates in the Dhule district of Maharashtra (Sakri and Dhule blocks) and the Alwar district of Rajasthan (Rajgarh and Malakheda blocks), targeting small and marginal farmers with basic agricultural infrastructure.

The strategic approach includes improving livestock health, building farmer capacity, enabling collectivization, enhancing market linkages, improving crop yields and soil health, promoting water use efficiency, providing access to customized technology solutions, and fostering convergence with government and ecosystem partners. Through these efforts, the ABLE project seeks to empower farmers, enhance productivity, and foster sustainable livelihoods.

The funds generated from the Tata Mumbai Marathon will be utilized to expand the program to additional farmers in Maharashtra and Rajasthan. This expansion marks a significant step toward achieving the overarching goal of reaching and positively impacting 50,000 individuals. Through these efforts, the ABLE project seeks to empower farmers, enhance productivity, and foster sustainable livelihoods on a broader scale.

Project DescriptionAgriculture remains the primary occupation in rural India, and addressing the stagnation in this sector is essential for overall economic growth and sustainability. Farmers face numerous challenges, including low productivity, insufficient working capital, outdated farming technologies, and a lack of access to supportive institutions. To address these concerns, our approach focuses on enhancing productivity through the transfer of modern agricultural technologies, promoting crop diversification, and building robust farmer organizations that can support collective growth.

Additionally, LHWRF recognizes the importance of livestock, particularly for landless farmers, as a key source of income. To support this sector, we focus on productivity enhancement through breed improvement, capacity building, and the introduction of modern technology. We also promote livestock diversification and value chain development, which ensures a steady, year-round income for farmers while also serving as an effective risk management strategy against crop failures.

Funds generated from the TMM (Tata Mumbai Marathon) were allocated to various livelihood initiatives. These include interventions in agriculture, livestock, and other allied activities, alongside essential water conservation efforts. By integrating these approaches, we aim to increase rural incomes, improve food security, and contribute to sustainable rural development.
