The Structure of the Organization

To ensure the achievement of Vision, treading the path of Mission and ensuring the concentration on implementation issues at micro-level what required is managerial skill of the organization. This in view, CHARD has a set pattern of structural bodies to ensure proper implementation of programmes. These are as follows:

  1. General Body (GB)
  2. All the members of the Organization constitute the General Body and it means at least once in a year to approve the basic level operations of the organization.
  3. Executive Body (EB)
  4. The Executive Body consists of Nine Members and this body is responsible for day to day affairs of the organization. The Executive Body is headed by Shri S Babu, who is the Chairman-cum-Chief Executive Director. The other members of the Executive Body have been designated positions and are responsible for the task assigned.
  5. Programme Advisory Committee (PAC)
  6. The Programme Committee is a kind of Technical Committee whose responsibility is to ensure identification of appropriate programmes and provide technical support in terms of programme design, developing the profile of the programmes to be undertaken etc. The PAC places its proposals to Executive Body and after its approval the same would be ratified at the General Body level.

Programme Implementation Strategy

CHARD believes that appropriate strategy in programme implementation would lead to optimum utilisation of resources and enhance the efficacy of programme implemented. Keeping this in view, a flexible structure of strategy, depending on the type and duration of programme to be implemented, has been adopted. In fact, the strategy has been laid with emphasis on peoples’ participation to tune the programmes more closer to the needs of the target group. The general programme strategy has been:

  • Maintain voluntary facilitators at village level in the operational area and maintain a documentation process on economic and social requirements at village level as well as livelihood level;
  • Consolidate the data base at regular periodic intervals;
  • Form Village Committees to identify the need or requirement assessment;
  • Dovetail such assessments with the resources available with the organization;
  • Chalk out programme structure with the resources available through Programme Advisory Committee after due interaction with target group;
  • Facilitate financial requirements for the programme through internal or external sources; and
  • Implement the Programmes through field level staff as well as Village Committees.atural and other opportunities available;

The Work Force

Unlike in most of the organizations, CHARD has the principle of equal participation from Office-bearers to Grass Root level workers. In other words, each one of the member connected with the organization has to participate in the implementation of the programmes. Thus, an in-built mechanism has brought in the organization to strive for egalitarian principles even within the organization itself.

Expertise Developed

Ever since its existence, CHARD has been making relentless efforts in terms of attending the needs of target group. Despite the initial hick-ups several lessons were learnt from need identification to programme implementation. Consequently, the experience gained made CHARD to gain expertise in:

  • HIV/AIDS related programmes;

  • Poverty alleviation and Income Generation Programmes;
