ILP supports projects across various states in India and has developed successful models of interventions that can be replicated in different regions. ILP follows a comprehensive evaluation and monitoring process to ensure that the projects create the desired impact for the beneficiaries. The projects are classified into different categories that align with ILP's thematic focus outlined below.

Education for Children

Educational interventions are seen as a continuum for all children from zero to completion of high school education. ILP focuses on access, enrollment, retention and improving quality of education in schools. This is achieved through community ownership by forming and strengthening school and village education committees.

Life Skills Education for Young People

ILP recognizes the need to identify good intervention programs that combine livelihood education with life coping skills. Livelihood skills provide youth with skills that increase their earning potential. Life coping mechanism attempts to prepare youngsters to face the challenges of life by covering the entire array of psychological, emotional and cultural issues that determine socially acceptable behavior. Life coping mechanisms enable them to translate knowledge, attitudes and values into actual abilities as it relates to "what to do and how to do it".

Adult Education

Focusing on supporting women, adult education programs combine imparting literacy with livelihood skills. These programs provide linkages to welfare schemes , marketing and business development resources as appropriate. Strengthening of Self Help Groups and Community Based Organizations, awareness on Right to Information and National Rural Employment Guarantee schemes are some of the activities supported.
