How we help
01 · Problem fit
We check whether the work sits in an area the programme names, such as healthcare, education, agriculture, financial inclusion, energy, or poverty reduction.
02 · Impact and scale
We help state the measurable social and economic impact, and whether there is a credible path from a pilot to larger implementation.
03 · Which funding stage
We match the request to a pilot, a test, or scaling a proven solution, using the published ceilings for each stage.
04 · What this is not
We say clearly that this is an international development grant, not an Indian government startup scheme.
Cautions
- A cost-effective idea is not enough on its own. The programme looks for measurable impact and a credible path to scale.
- The published ceilings are subject to programme evaluation and eligibility criteria. They are not an approved amount.
