About CORD

Chinmaya Tej is an annual Walkathon organized by Chinmaya Mission Alpharetta benefitting CORD (Chinmaya Organization for Rural Development).

Every year, hundreds of well wishes gather along with family and friends to support several initiatives uplifting the lives of villagers from 1000+ villages across India and Sri Lanka, having fun along the way. It is inspiring to see many attend this event early in the morning cheerfully and contribute whole heartedly.

CORD (Chinmaya Organization for Rural Development)

is a secular, non-profit that aims to help communities create a sustainable program to aid in their holistic welfare. CORD’s programs in rural development cater to empowering and making communities self-reliant. The uniqueness of the model rests on making the rural communities equal partners in their development, rather than just facilitating developmental projects.

The Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) of women, men, youth, and children are CORD’s main instruments for implementing its strategy of motivating, mobilizing, and enabling communities to plan, execute, and evolve.These CBOs, especially the women’s groups, are the heart of CORD’s constituent programs and, around these CBOs, other program components evolve.

The various CBOs at CORD include Mahila Mandals (Women’s groups), Self-Help groups, Men and Farmers Clubs, Adolescent Girls Group (Yuvati Samuh), Children’s Group (Bal Vihar), Advocacy Groups. CORD supports various thematic programs like Community-Based Livelihood – Farm and Non Farm Sectors, Community Based Social Justice and Gender Sensitization, Community-Based Health, Nutrition, Sanitation, and Hygiene, Community-based inclusion and rehabilitation for persons with disabilities, Participatory Natural Resource Management, Local self-governance through Panchayati Raj Institutions, Literacy, including Adult Literacy, Financial and Digital Literacy and Computer Literacy, Alcohol Abuse Awareness and Management.
