The Governing Board of JSK is chaired by the Secretary Health of the Government of India along with the Secretaries of the Departments of School Education & Literacy, Women and Child Development under the Ministry of Human Resources Development and the Planning Commission.

Elected Members

According to the Memorandum of Association, ten members from the General Body are to be elected on the Governing Board so that there are ten non-government members besides the four government members and the Executive Director of JSK. The election has to be from among the following groups:

  • Demographers, and Specialists in the field of population stabilisation and its allied sectors,

  • NGOs (active in the field of population stabilisation,

  • Medical and Paramedical Associations,

  • Representatives from the Associations of Industry and Trade.

The modalities and terms have to be finalised by the General Body.

The Central Government would assist the JSK for the 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 :

  1. To stimulate and create a proper management structure from within Civil Society, to which JSK can be ultimately handed over;
  2. 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;
  3. 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
  4. 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.
