About us - Governance Structure

Janaagraha’s governance structure design is indicated in the diagram and is as follows:

JCCD Governing Board: JCCD’s Governing Board members are a small but remarkable group of institution-builders with deep knowledge about building strong governance structures, open decision-making processes, and solid management systems.

The Advisory board meets four times a year with the executive leadership of JCCD, to review the plans and progress of various programmes and activities, ensuring that these are not only meeting milestones and outcomes, but are in keeping with the larger vision and mission of Janaagraha.

JCCD Working Council: at the operational level, a Working Council has been established to evaluate the progress of different programmes and discuss operational issues that need collective resolution. This working council is made up of the coordinators of each programme and meets every month.

In addition, each programme coordinator has established an Advisory Group of five to fifteen members that have specific skills and expertise specific, to the programme. Coordinators hold regular reviews with their advisory groups.

JCCD Advisory Group: the Working Council has ongoing access to a Janaagraha Advisory Group of subject matter experts and opinion leaders from various fields. Once a year, the Working Council holds an introspection session with the Janaagraha Advisory Group.
