Rajiv Aajeevika Samvardhan Abhiyan (RGF- ASA) is an initiative by Rajiv Gandhi Foundation to revive the livelihoods of migrants as well as resident workers in the rural areas by supporting them to start their own micro-enterprise and make them self-reliant.

The RGF-ASA program was launched in 22 districts of Rural India in August 2020. During the first phase, RGF-ASA along with its local NGO partners, have provided capacity building and handholding support to migrant and local residents who lost their livelihoods during the pandemic with the help of trained mentors to become self-reliant by setting up their own micro-enterprises and earning a sustainable livelihood income.

Rajiv Gandhi Foundation (RGF) works in 30 states and UTs across India to work on the grassroot issues and empower communities and individuals to realise their full potential. Our programs include concerns like Education, Sanitation, Employement, Disablities etc.
