Janvikas is a training and support organisation that assists initiatives by marginalised communities. Its journey began by helping young professionals and organisations working with youth on multiple social issues. Over the years, it instituted a web of sixteen well-established national and state level organisations.

Janvikas also fosters community based organisations (CBOs) and till date has incubated 16 CBOs working on varied issues impacting the marginalised communities. Its core belief in the passion and courage of the leaders of affected communities to fight for their issues, has encouraged the organisation to develop capacities of 2940 community based voluntary leaders actively engaged in raising issues of concern to them. Janvikas has also built CBO capacities by supporting 304 CBOs promoted by other NGOs. On an average, every year, Janvikas backs 35 NGOs, networks and other civil society organisations (CSOs) to develop their perspectives, systems, structures and programmes.

The vast experience of working with diverse organisations in social sector has enriched Janvikas with insights, skills and knowledge to reach out and develop nascent and small organisations which otherwise may not receive such support. Today, Janvikas is recognised as a leading ‘Organisation Development Institute’, encouraging strong, value-based institutional structures in the social sector. Janvikas is known primarily for setting up, fostering, incubating and nurturing strategic interventions in response to the emerging socio-economic-political realities.
