II have known COODU for the past 7 years. COODU has worked in Coimbatore in the DPAP watersheds when I was Additional Collector (Development), DRDA, Coimbatore. They have been working on watershed development for the past five years in Coimbatore, Namakkal, Cuddalore, Dindigul and Theni districts. Their work is sincere and disciplined. They are always committed towards the work, and their primary activity is watershed development. They are very well versed and experienced in these activities.

I strongly recommend, COODU Ngo to take up such activities in this area because, they have been doing Watershed and other developmental projects successfully for the past five years in Coimbatore district and many other districts in Tamilnadu

COODU, Coimbatore is involved in the implementation of DPAP/IWDP projects in the district. They have done an excellent job in Community Organisation, Training and other activities under the project. COODU’s participation has made the project a success story in Coimbatore district.

“I have known the “COODU (Community Organisation for Oppressed and Depressed Upliftment) – a non-profit, non-governmental organisation with its headquarters in Coimbatore for the past 5 years. Having inspected as well as acquainted with many of their socio economic development programmes in the sectors of Agriculture, Environment and Health and also under the SGSY and SGRY, especially in watershed development, Sanitation and Plantation, etc. I am pleased to laud the sterling services being rendered by the organisation for the upliftment of the poor and disadvantaged sections of the society and Empowerment of Women. I wish them every success in all their endeavours.”

“Long been associated as I have with COODU organisation, Coimbatore, this affair has now been formalized and expanded the mutual relationship and extended my service reach, which I sincerely hope, would galvanize the mass movement for organic farming and a healthy way of living in Tamilnadu and beyond”
