They have also conscientised them to come together for discussing, planning and for the launching of schemes for their uplift and well being and also actively participated in the implementation of these projects.

To awaken interest among the parents on the importance of Education, a Campaign for Education was organized in urban area. Pamphlets printed, groups visited almost all the streets with slogan to send their children to the schools. The urban level meetings were also conducted in which the importance of education was explained very vividly. Many local teachers, youths and school children participated in the programme and it was a great effort to sensitize the parents who are illiterates towards sending their children to the schools.

As there is a crying need for water scarcity and most of the people were migrating to towns because of lack of water. Due to this water scarcity the people were not able to cultivate their own lands.

Basically this programme is successful because the entire Chittoor District itself is declared as drought hit area.
