Micro-Credit and Income Generation Activities (IGA) etc. The
main approach was to avail access to proper resources and

worker/activists to ensure people rights to quality consumer
goods and services. From inception PRATAY mobilized its
energy and resource to develop the poor and disadvantaged
people as a force so that they can avail proper goods and
services from relevant sources. Its efforts are continuing in
the field of advocacy and campaign, generating organized force
through group formation and network, creating resource base
through savings, improving skill through imparting training,
expanding Income Generation Activities through credit service,
upgrading Human Resources through health education, adult
literacy, water and sanitation.
