Chilvuru is a Panchayat. The main head is Sarpanch (President). The administration also includes Karanam and, Ward Members. The administration members of the village serve the community with the best aspects of providing the basic needs for the people in the village. The management holds the responsibilities such providing the education for all the children of all levels, providing the villagers with the hospital facilities etc. None had imagined that a technological revolution would bring about a true green revolution in this little-known remote village in Duggirala mandal of Guntur district. Today Chiluvuru is on the information technology map of India, thanks to the efforts of ` Katragadda Charities' and the State Government. Chiluvuru became the first `Rajiv Internet village' in India, when Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy inaugurated it on August 20, 2004.
It all started when Katragadda Krishna Prasad, an NRI, who wanted to see his village reap the benefits of the communication revolution. Meagre fund allocation by the Government provoked him to contribute money for the village's development. The Government impressed by the initiative turned responsive to his dreams and today 7,600 villagers are an excited lot. Their village boasts of high-speed Internet connectivity that many in Hyderabad cannot imagine. The level of technological advancement and development of the complete infrastructure allows anyone to run a full-fledged call centre (BPO).
