first three years in its drive for
membership.
The Executive
Director is the Chief Executive Officer of
the Kosh.
Once fully
established, the Jansankhya Sthirata Kosh is
expected to run as a civil society initiative and the Government would be
associated with JSK only to the extent
necessary, to ensure the following :
- To
stimulate and create a proper management
structure from within Civil Society, to
which JSK can be ultimately handed over;
- To play
the role of a partner in the initial
years, to aid and assist the management
structure of the Civil Society, to
strengthen and rollout the JSK, and
spread its activities, far and wide in a
time-bound manner;
- To remain
present in the JSK with the residual
role of a watchdog to prevent misuse of
the Fund, and to prevent monopoly of any
limited segment of the civil society in
the management structure of the JSK; and
- To act,
when needed, as an umpire among the
contending groups of Civil Society which
are expected to participate in the
management structure of the JSK.
