JSK is a unique organization. Its goal is to
promote initiatives which leverage the
strength of different social sectors and which
are not being pursued by others.
It is a combination of government and civil
society working hand in hand to promote local
innovations drawing on the strength of new
partnerships.
The selection of initiatives is being guided
and managed by professionals, with government
nominees playing the role of facilitators and
umpires. JSK’s initiatives like GIS Maps, Call
Centre, Virtual Resource Center, large scale
sensitisation workshops for adolescents and
youth from remote villages are examples of
working differently.
Another unique feature is that a cross-section
of professionals have to have a position on
the Governing Board of JSK and they come
through election-not nomination. Their
presence brings fresh experience and dynamism
to the programmes and enhances synergy and
cross-sectional strength. At present, two
nationally renowned NGOs and representatives
of CII and FICCI are on the Governing Board.
The following Associations have voting rights
to elect members on the Governing Board of JSK.
They have been asked to sponsor members and
the process was started in February 2007.
