SEEP naturally evolved from our interventions in Health and Education to facilitate community members collectively employ their human capital and mutually benefit each other.

The first step in this direction is the formation of Social Collectives (Self Help Groups), the fundamental unit of community driven development comprising rural & tribal women, specially abled individuals mutually engaging in group savings and rural entrepreneurship through social business units, all the way to large federations that work towards collective problem solving and local development, a solid foundation for development that is contextually relevant and culturally appropriate.

Our Community Radio Station catalyses the generation of social capital, cutting across social and administrative hierarchies, acting as a bridge between the citizens and the governance, balancing the narrative of development by giving voice to the voiceless.

SVYM’s Viveka Rural Livelihood Centre in H D Kote in Mysuru District runs numerous vocational training courses for farmers, women and youth tuned in to a slogan of learn locally, earn locally. Creating opportunities for rural employment facilitates in reversing urban migration of talent. The centre trains over 500 individuals annually.
