• Rights-based approach - grounding of rights
• Partnership, networking and alliance model - Parmarth works in partnership, networking and alliances with poor, marginalised and socially excluded groups
• Critical engagement - Parmarth engages critically with community groups, governments and institutions. Its engagements may range from cooperation to confrontation but the ultimate take is always a non-violent mode
• Policy and media advocacy
• Creating models for larger replication
