Development after all is a journey and not a destination. CORD, therefore has to go still further. Whatever it assigns for itself is basically committed in the light of the prevailing situation duly falling within the purview of its articulated vision and on the strength of its proven abilities and experiences in building people for prosperity. With this sense of determination, CORD wishes to embark on community based activities listed below:

• To bring under the ambit of our concern every community in states of socio-economic deprivation and build them into a force of solidarity through a process of organisation and thus enable them emerge into a collective voice and force.

• To emerge as a supportive organisation to the Adivasi Movement Process initiated in South India and carry through the same in the national level to ensure collective strength of the indigenous people.

• To facilitate implementation of the legislative measures in force relevant to local self government so as to ensure greater participation on the part of the marginalised majority at the grass-root levels and specifically for the self-governance of the tribals according to their traditional systems and established rights and socio-cultural distinctions .

• To work for the achievement of economic self-reliance of the tribal communities helping them to settle to a sustainable agricultural economy as an alternative to their forefeited traditional systems, fully making the megre land holdings in their possession productive and conducive to ecological and environmental concerns.

• To institute a Formal Education System compatible to the tribal culture & identity through Residential Schools with appropriate curriculum and in symbiotic relation to their traditional ambience and cultural aspirations.

• To provide value loaded skills to ensure generation of employment and income and thus build the poor to become producing and saving community from being serving and consuming community.

• To ensure greater participation on the part of women in all walks of life especially empowering them to play significant role in the power structure and thus secure them their rightful place.

• To operationalise training cum production units and field practice and demonstration plans in backward areas to bring about a sense of hope and confidence in the poor to enable them participate in the production process.
