As has been indicated in the Road Map for executing the campaign, the task is to be carried out in two distinct, sequential and interactive phases. The first phase, which is aimed at awareness, education and motivation of the people about the rationale, need and action program of the campaign, is to be accomplished by FCSGI. As the program of action will be nationwide, FCSGI has to have a national coverage and presence. Keeping this in view, it is planned to have an office of FCSGI in every block of the country, called the Circle Office. Apart from the central office and circle offices of FCSGI, there will be Area Offices to be set up at either district level or Lok Sabha constituency level. For state level co-ordination of FCSGI activities, there will be state offices in each of the state capitals.
The Constitution of FCSGI is in the process of active thinking, evolution and formulation. Hence the organizational structure of FCSGI will be firmed up accordingly.

A Savings Bank Account of the Forum in the name of Forum for Change of the System of Governance has been opened at State Bank of India, Shrikrishnapuri, Patna Branch, to be operated jointly by the Treasurer and the Secretary of FCSGI.
