Ambuja Foundation was felicitated as a Development Catalyst at the Livelihoods India Summit organized by Access Development Services - recognising its work over the last almost 30 years in empowering economically marginalised communities.

To celebrate the phenomenal contribution of NGO's in building an equitable and inclusive India, Access Development Services felicitates NGOS that have completed over 25 years in enabling economic empowerment of communities as ‘Development Catalysts.’ This unique effort highlights and honours the outstanding work carried out by NGOs in the livelihood creation space that has enabled economic empowerment via innovation and excellence in the country.

Ambuja Foundation highlighted its work on Livelihoods which includes Agro-based livelihoods, agri-allied services and skill & entrepreneurship development. Through this initiative it especially focuses on women - giving them a livelihood opportunity and helping them become breadwinners and contribute to the family. During COVID-19, many of the small enterprises run by women were majorly affected, for which Ambuja Foundation, through Self-Help Groups, set up a revolving fund to provide loans to local business women to sustain their business.
