To build a powerful Information System, there must be organized CBOs (Community- Based Organizations) since they are effective platforms for spreading information and taking development initiatives. This is only possible when they are well organized.

Toward this end a detailed study was undertaken of all the CBOs individually, and regular facilitation provided for better organization. Regular meetings were conducted with well-defined agendas, stressing the importance of regular meetings, repayment of loans, involvement in public activities, and bookkeeping. This resulted in sixteen groups being regularized, of which, nine groups were selected for bank loans by the Rural Bank of Padara in recognition of their improved functioning. CTK is the only village in the whole Mandal to have nine groups selected all at the same time. The VO (village organization consisting of women-only groups) now functions very efficiently and it has been selected as one of the five best VOs in the Mandal. A grant of Rs. 20 lakhs has been sanctioned for MCP (micro credit plan) to this VO.

In addition to the VO, one Federation has been formed consisting of representatives from all the CBOs. Now all the information, selections, decisions and planning are being brought to the villagers through this Federation.
