Chakkittapara Service Cooperative Bank remains a unique example for a village level cooperative through dedicated service and committed vision becoming the back bone grass root level financial emancipation and social upliftment.
It had a very humble origin on 5th June 1958 as a village level social movement named ‘Pulari Gramdan Society’ closely following the alternate development pattern put forward by Acharya Sri Vinobaji through the Bhudan movement. This maiden attempt in the high ranges of Calicut took the name ‘Gramdan’ as an exalted step of ‘Bhudan’ which meant ‘voluntary donation of land’. A great visionary Mr. Thomas Manikompel who donated 75 cents of land as part of the Bhudan movement, where the society took its birth, became its first president.
The initial activity of the society also has great resonance of the Gandhian pattern of life-spinning cotton yarn in the traditional spinning wheel locally called ‘charka’. Subsequently the society spread its activity into community processing of latex because rubber, by then became, the main agricultural crop of the area.
As our bank figured out more than 10000 permanent 'A' class clients and in that 6000 members participate for all kind of general body meeting and participate for all kind of affairs with the Chakkittapara Service Co-operative bank.

Even though, GDCS scheme allows the users for availing short terms deposit of lower money to higher money will be updated directly to their bank account or even as per the policy updated by the Chakkittapara Service Co Operative Bank with the user.
