Philosophy
TCT believes that all sectors of rural life are inter related and hence an integrated approach to rural development is required. TCT has great faith in rural women’s abilities and believes that women’s participation and involvement is absolutely essential for any meaningful development to take place. It is essential to work closely with several like minded organizations and Government Departments to benefit more people, more effectively and in more ways. Voluntary action is required at every level to ensure long term benefits to the community.
TCT’s Vision:
In a period of ten years, all activities will be manged by women’s organizations. There will be a demanding society which will ensure all the required services for the rural communities. Women will be economically, socially and politically empowered. There will be a greater demand for gender justice, equality and recognition of children’s rights. TCT’s project will be an acknowledged international model for women’s development.
TCT’s Mission
TCT will improve the quality of life of rural households through organisation of village based women’s groups. It aims to promote development through an increased understanding of the prevailing situation and to provide the means of improving it. Through a process of training in self management , it encourages maximum utilisation of local potentials.
Area of operation
TCT’s current area of focus is 800 villages in 150 Panchayats in Walaja and Arcot Taluks of Vellore District in Tamil Nadu , South India. Most of the villages are located on the banks of the rivers of Palar and Ponnai and are accessible from the National Highway -Chennai – Mumbai through village roads. The villages are located within a radius of 30 km from Ranipet,a big industrial town in Tamil Nadu.
Activities:
TCTs womens development programme is implemented through village based Savings and Credit Groups. Twelve to twenty poor rural women in a village are organised into a Group / Sangham. From the beginning they are trained to manage the Group within a framework of rules and regulations. They meet on a fixed day and time in the week, collect savings and loan repayments, approve loans for members and disburse them. After they learn to manage the money and ensure loan repayments, external loans from TCT or Banks is organised for them. The loan may be taken for any purpose, but over a period of time, more productive loans are encouraged. The Sangham operating in the village becomes a nodal delivery point for most of TCTs activities.
TCT has been operating this programme since December 1994, and it has been growing steadily in size and outreach, making this the main focus of TCTS activities.
