Founded in the year 2009, Jan Nirman Kendra is a not-for-profit organisation with a mission to improve the quality of life of poor and marginalised people living in rural areas. The organisation’s work focuses on three key areas — livelihood, health and education — for socially and economically backward communities. Taking its mission forward, Jan Nirman Kendra (JNK) took its first step by forming groups in order to institutionalise their efforts. Under this initiative, 100 farmer field schools were organised with membership of 4,000 small and marginalised farmers in Samastipur district.
