COMMUNITY BASED ORGANISATIONS
The primary focus of COD is on developing and empowering the Community Based Organizations which are effective in addressing the local issues of the society, to ensure the rights and needs of the marginalized and downtrodden, who are handicapped with inequalities on various fronts. We strive hard in developing a greater understanding of participatory decision making which is an effective means of empowerment with visible result. We have mobilized CBOs, SHGs, JLGs with a view to encourage people’s participation in the development process. At present we have different forms of CBOs to address the needs of the society. Focused on the problems and situations in our operational area we have formed groups for children, youth, women, men and senior citizens. This is achieved best through building up of People’s Organizations by which bargaining capacity of the people would be enhanced. Continuous capacity building exercises are ensured for the strengthening and sustainability of the community based organizations formed and maintained. The relevance of Peoples Organizations has a great significance in creating progressive change in people’s lives. The aim of all the CBOs is the development of poor and marginalized to self reliance. COD Supports to engage in social welfare activities like income generation programs, infrastructure development, marriage aid, educational support, treatment etc.
