Our community development programmes are need based and has resulted in strengthening the families. Women in rural India have historically been the victims of inequalities and vulnerable to economic, social and political exploitations. A vast majority of these women belong to the most backward communities in the Indian social hierarchy. They lack basic education, health care & social awareness and face various problems like poverty, unemployment, underemployment, landlessness etc,.

One of the important things we do in our community development work is to organize these marginalized groups for development. Women self-help groups were formed to empower them socially and economically. These groups involve in savings and credit activities for income generation and take part in the various leadership development programmes. Through these programmes we make them aware of their political, economic and human rights. SCAN-INDIA just established a tailoring & computer training centre in Chittoor to provide them functional literacy and job oriented skills to improve their socio-economic condition.
