The Core Committee of Chowk got together on the 12th of September at Sahjeevan Samaj Kendra to discuss the various existing problems faced by the communities of Chowk. Using their knowledge on problem-solving the twenty CC members tried understand the cause of the problems faced. They identified fifteen such problems faced by the Chowk Villagers. Then they went through a process of prioritizing the various issues/problems and finalized on three main problems of the area. 

 The Core Committee then formed three subgroups  i.e. Sub-Committees. Each sub-committee then selected one leader to facilitate the functioning and discussion of the group. The procedure to address each of the issues was then discussed. All the members of each subcommittee took part in the discussion and discussed on the issue to be handled by them. 

 The CCO staff faced the challenge of eliciting a good response from each of the vibhaag (zone) of the community. The Core Committee hopes to engage with their respective vibhaag and elicit a better response for the next meeting.
