Operation Model
Operational frame of GIT encompasses empowerment and development of communities through strengthening the capacities of stakeholders. Most of the projects are carried out in the way that they should not confront the state, but mobilize/organize the people to challenge the unequal social structures, power centres that induce injustice, exploiting groups and unaccountable governance institutions.
Action Strategy
Grassroots India principally builds the capacities of partners/ people by providing information, technical know-how, and on-field training and orientation, which is a sustainable way of empowering the communities and partners. GIT believes that giving money in hands of people is equal to making one handicapped.

Grassroots India Trust works mostly in partnership of grassroots NGOs, action groups, national and international organizations. This partnership is materialized after long association and mutual persuasions. Yet there are certain macro level interventions that are carried out by GIT directly.
GIT focuses on marginalized and excluded social groups such as tribes, dalits and other deprived communities. Particular emphasis remains on women, children and youths.
