 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.
Besides having a special team for handling refugee rights it has a specialized wing for NRM based
interventions with focus on biodiversity, eco-farming, organic approach, chain completion, value
addition with Intensified Integrated Farming Systems (IIFS). Janakalyan has also specialized in
health, hygiene, nutrition, sanitation and education to mothers and children through various
innovative strategies and community based monitoring mechanisms. Education has remained as
one of its focal area since from the inception and has developed a pool of experiences in
addressing the issues like drop out, slow learners, child labors, vocational training, remedial
coaching, etc. along with the formal education programs.
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 fully fledged office on 2-acre lush-green campus with a
training hall having a capacity for 100 participants with all modern audio-visual facilities.

Janakalyan logo depicts its goal of serving four mothers in 4 arms of the + sign; the woman
(manavimata), the soil (bhoomata), the animal (gomata) and the water (gangamata). The plus (+)
sign also signifies that any person who wish to serve these mothers must possess the quality of a
doctor and thus it has 4 colors; the red represents quality of a doctor of human beings (MBBS), the
blue represents quality of a doctor of animals (BVSc), green represents quality of a doctor of crops
(BScAg) and white represents quality of a doctor (MSW) who can change the mind and mindset of
people. A person serving through Janakalyan must possess the qualities of all these 4 kinds of
doctors in order to bring desired changes in the society.

 RECOMMENDATIONS

• Expanding working area besides of Karnataka.

• Hiring more human resources to carry the activity of the organization for increased number
of projects. In NGO it doesn’t possible to carry the employee after the completion of the
project but in absence of human resource it is also not possible to take new projects in
execution. If sequential project taken by the organization will help retain the employee in
the organization.

• Besides the loyalty of employees there is some need to motivate the employees in the
organization. The motivation may be performance appraisal reward, recognition
appreciation etc. such motivation may results in to more stable work place in the
organization and it will also helps in retaining the human assets of the organization.

• Even though the employees are skilled but there is some need of training & development
(pre/post training) to the employees to enhance their performance level.

• Awareness camps organized by Janakalyan are very helpful to attach Janakalyan among
villages. It creates familiar relation of Jnakalyan employees /volunteers to the villagers so
there should be such awareness camp and events to built strong & warm relationship.
 CONCLUSION

Janakalyan is one of the Rural Development NGO which is working for a since 1997 with a strong
dedication, the work done by Janakalyan is recognizable. The faith shown by the people of these
villages is incredible and this is also the greatest achievement of Janakalyan. Performance of
Jankalyan in past is extremely good, This level of performance providing opportunities to work in
relatively large area but for this there should be some amendments as well as new strategy will
have to be formed and applied.
