Shree Kshethra Dharmasthala Rural Development Project (SKDRDP) was formed by Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade in the year 1982. Recording and processing of all the transactions since the beginning was carried out manually. In the course of time the project started to expand (now the project covers three districts and has fifteen project offices). Also the project started its microfinancing operations in 1995 which involved issuing loans to the Groups and collection of loan installments.

As the project grew there was difficulty in combining all the data from the Project offices and presenting the information to the Management from time to time. Therefore, there was an urge to computerize the operations, to facilitate the Management Information. As a result, based on the management decision, the computerization started off in the year 2001. At present all the functions of SKDRDP are interconnected through a well developed system of information technology.
