Tata (CInI)’s ‘Lakhpati Kisan’ initiative to improve livelihoods of tribal communities

The Challenge

Tata Trusts’ Central India Initiative (CInI) launched the ‘Lakhpati Kisan’ program to help tribal communities achieve annual household incomes of 1 lakh rupees. The initiative required digital tools to track farmer progress, manage interventions, and measure impact across remote tribal areas.

• Digital registration and tracking of tribal farming households
• Women-led FPO management through mobile-based tools
• Crop and livestock activity monitoring with geo-tagged data
• Impact dashboards measuring income improvement trajectories

The Results

• 500,000+ tribal households tracked on the platform

• Women empowerment through FPO leadership digitization
• Evidence-based program management for donors and stakeholders
