In order to develop the people, the next step, first one was establishing VDO, taken by Chevron is reaching money in the hand of the people. Chevron has initiated a loan scheme under the supervision of VDO. If anyone wants to get loan, has to be a member of the village development organization. A person who intend to get loan, has to fill up a form and with the recommendation of president, the forms has to be sent to the authority. Then if everything ok, loan issued in the name of this person.

Hence, it is found that there are a plenty of money has reached in the pocket of dominant people. However, besides providing loan, village development organization has an arrangement for training their member. The general forms of trainings are, sewing, basic computer training electric training etc. The selection process of the trainee, fall down within the vicious circle of nepotism. Who will be selected as apprentice, is subjected to rely on the liaison. What is more, sometimes people have to provide brave for getting loan.
