ICD holds a number of beneficiary programs to distribute household and utility goods, clothing items, blankets, sarees and other basic materials to the poorest of the poor. ICD also uses these programs to recognize outstanding contribution of volunteers, leaders in women-related initiatives, student achievements and farmer achievements.

These beneficiary programs bring together a large number of people who relate to each other at various levels. At these programs, ICD also involves a large number of people who have over the years moved up the value chain to play donors of some of these goods, thus giving them the recognition they have so ably earned.
