JSK is a unique organization. Its goal is to promote initiatives which leverage the strength of different economic and social sectors and reach out to needy population groups through innovative strategies.

It is a combination of government and civil society working hand in hand to promote innovations by drawing on the strength of joint partnerships.

All the events that JSK has organized are evidence of partnership forged already which indicates JSK’s uniqueness.
