Here are some specifics about a handful of the projects IPML has accomplished successfully: To create awareness on Breastfeeding for the child, INDEX Group arranged a training project for Bangladesh Breastfeeding Foundation (Information, Education and Communication Tools Development Components, etc.) where IPML worked with: Bangladesh Government and NNP (National Nutrition Program).

IPML also arranged 128 Orientation Workshops at the district level for marriage registrars in support for the prevention of early marriage, and advocacy for marriage at appropriate age groups where IPLM worked with the Director (IEM); Line Director (IEC) and Directorate General of Family Planning.

IPML held an Inaugural & Technical Workshop aiming to supply clean water free of diseases and arsenic to rural regions and small towns. This was a component of the program for providing safe water to Bangladesh.

IPML also completed some more significant projects, such as the ‘National Youth Congress 2002’ and the ‘Youth Expression Project 2006’, which marked the first time in Bangladesh that young people were producing a comprehensive parenting resource for youngsters. The primary goal was to identify the elements influencing young people’s lives and create comprehensive parenting resources for families, educators, and other social institutions. For these projects, we worked with the Dept. of Narcotics Control (Ministry of Home Affairs), BIRBA, CIDA and the Bills Malinda Gets Foundation.

Our company also documented a film called “About a Masuma”, based on the true story of a silent disabled girl whose rights were violated. Masuma, a mentally disabled young girl, was seduced by a debauched villager who subsequently refused to acknowledge their child in society. The documentary showcased the dire living conditions of Masuma in a desolate location and raised awareness among the public and policymakers about the infringement of disabled people’s rights.

IPML also undertook projects that aimed to benefit our country’s farmers, such as the Sericulture Development Project in Rangamati and Chattogram Districts, Intensive Vegetable Gardening in homestead areas throughout the year, and the Diversification of Crops program. We worked on these projects IFDAS Foundation, Global Approach For Total Improvement, Family and Community Empowerment Support.

Another notable project was the Performance Evaluation of an Integrated HYV Jute and Jute Seeds Production Program. We collaborated on this research with the Research Director of the Integrated HYV and Jute Seed Production Program, Department of Jute, Ministry of Textiles. We promoted agronomic, technological, and economic research on jute and related fibers, as well as their manufacturing and to disseminate the results of such research. The most enjoyable aspect of the project was managing the production, testing, and delivery of enhanced pedigree jute seeds, as well as their multiplication, purchase, and distribution to recognized organizations, selected farmers and any other agency authorized by the Board.

IPML collaborated with the Department of Public Health Engineering, the Ministry of Local Government Rural Development and Cooperatives, and the Local Government Division for Bangladesh Arsenic Mitigation Water Supply Project (BAMWSP). The project’s purpose was to help Bangladesh reach the millennium development goals for water supply and sanitation. The project specifically implemented new strategies to scale up the provision of clean water supply free of arsenic and pathogens in rural and small-town regions.

IPML has been involved in the Small-Scale Water Resources Development Project as a partner organization of the LGED, Government of Bangladesh, since 2002.
