=== Development activities initiated ===
Appapuram Development trust (ADT) [http://www.appapuram.org] an NGO is going to be initiated in 2012 to take care of the development activities.

APPAPURAM DEVELOPMENT TRUST (ADT) is a non-profit Organization working for the upliftment of poor and most marginalized communities in the rural and urban regions. The objective of the organization is to work for facilitating the poor to become aware of social entitlements and collective action towards improvement of their livelihood and basic amenities. The main focus would be on the infrastructure development activities in rural areas and financial aid to the poor students.

There was a meeting (#0) with around 40 people at Upper primary school, Appapuram about the proposed Appapuram development Trust on 14 January 2012. There was a good discussion and selection of few proposed members.

Trust is for those having properties / lands. As ours a charitable group with no such Assets, we proposed to register that as a Society and not as a Trust[ Appapuram Development Society ].

As development societies with place names are registered for central government, the registration of Proposed Appapuram Development Society had to be done with a different name, We have tried registering it as Yuva Chaithanya. However, only those with less than 30 years of age can be members.

So we had to finally make it "Chaitanya Development Society, Appapuram" on 21 April 2012. Unofficially known as ADS ( Appapuram Development society, to all of us).

A bank current account in the name of "Chaitanya village development Society" has been opened on 17 May 2012 with Indian bank, [[Chilakaluripet]].

The money collected through Chaitanya development society, Rs. 2,50,000 was given to improve the drinking water supply system of our village.
We helped lay a new road, by contributing Rs. 15000
We have provided belts and badges to the upper primary school children spending Rs. 5000
We have also contributed to the other social welfare activities, in small amounts.

Invited Shri V V Lakshminarayana garu to Appapuram through ADS, in September 2018 to discuss with Students and Farmers.
