The Consortium
A serious lacuna of emerging development domains in India is the insufficient engagement by the academia in knowledge creation and field building activities. The increasing demand for qualified livelihood professionals in India by the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), civil society organisat ions and phi lanthropic foundations has created a context for knowledge co-creation by academicians and practitioners to meet this challenge.
A group of higher education institutions co l laborated to map human resource requirements of State Rural Livelihood Missions in 2011. Livelihoods MANTHAN emerged out of this felt need for strategic and need based support for livelihood promotion in India.

The Mission
Livelihoods MANTHAN's nation-wide network
provides vibrant knowledge platforms (virtual and
physical) to build a community of practice on
livelihoods.
This is facilitated through an electronic group
(Livelihoods Learning Group) which enables
networking with stakeholders in the livelihoods
ecosystem. While enhancing knowledge flows,
the group also helps design workshops and
discussions for building the capacities of
livelihoods professionals in India. A Rural Lvielihood
Internship (RLI) programme has enabled the
placement of students with SRLMs across India
and is being expanded in its second year of
operation.
MANTHAN is also involved in building a livelihoods
knowledge compendium, conducting sharing
sessions on topics relevant for livelihoods
promot ion, organis ing wr i te-shops and
documenting livelihood cases, and creation &
dissemination of digital media.
Livelihoods MANTHAN (Management Academic
institutes Network for Transforming Human
resources through Action and Knowledge)
provides a dynamic platform for academics,
practitioners and livelihood promoting agencies to
work together for a vibrant livelihoods ecosystem in
India. The consortium is coordinated by the Xavier
Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB).
The consortium has been involved in the following
broad activities since mid 2012:

development & training programmes
· Designing curriculum and certificate courses
for officials of state livelihood missions
· Networking among management institutions
to reposition their offerings on livelihoods
· Creating open source learning & sharing
platforms for resources on livelihoods in India
and
· Providing strategic support to state livelihood
missions
MANTHAN partners have since worked together
with the State Rural Livelihood Missions (SRLMs) in
various states.
