About Janakalyan
Janakalyan is a team of professionals committed for people’s empowerment. What started with 4 rehabilitation colonies of Sindhanur taluk in 1997 to empower refugees and ensuring their rights has now spread across the district in more than 1000 villages directly and also through its network partners. A community based organization transformed as a fully equipped professional institution to handle varieties of interventions both directly as implementer and also through its network partners as facilitator.
The major activity-frames of Janakalyan are Jana Sanghatan, Jana Krishi, Jana Jala, Jana Raksha, Jana Shakti, Jana Udyog and Jana Shiksha; all these are centered to 4 holy mothers – manavi mata (woman), bhoomata (soil), gomata (animal) and gangamata (water). Janakalyan believes in empowerment and sustainability strategies and all its programs are designed with these core principles. Accountability and transparency are core values of Janakalyan and maintained at all levels to its highest level. Janakalyan never considers itself an alternative to Government but a watchdog for the community. It does believe itself as an assisting agency for the Government in developing the nation and its citizens.
India lives in its villages and therefore Janakalyan dedicated itself for the upliftment of the rural communities believing in Gandhijee’s words. To practice the same in letter and spirit, Janakalyan has it operates from a remote village with a full fledged office on 2-acre lush-green campus with a training hall having a capacity for 100 participants with all modern audio-visual facilities.
