In 2003, Swami Tejomayananda, consolidated all projects into CORD, the Chinmaya Organisation for Rural Development. By 2014, nearly 726 villages, representing over 50,000 participating villagers were served by CORD. Dr Kshama Metre, a paediatrician who was inspired by Gurudev’s vision for the Sidhbari Project, is currently the National Director of CORD. She has lived and worked at Sidhbari since the beginning.
