Muriel interviews: Mr. BK Jhawar
Muriel met Mr. Jhawar at the Clinton Global Initiative CGI 2008 conference.
Since 1972, Usha Martin Limited has been working towards the development of Jharkhand through its corporate social responsibility
arm, Krishi Gram Vikas Kendra (KGVK).
An NGO with a difference… an idea with infinite possibilities. An idea that is touching the lives of more than 50,000 households in 350 villages — at KGVK our mission is to facilitate integrated progress and prosperity in rural Jharkhand, one of India’s most impoverished states, and to bring the benefits of economic development to a community left behind.
This is a challenge too huge for any one sector to tackle alone. We can only make a real difference by converging efforts of the government, corporate bodies, NGOs, and above all, the people of Jharkhand.
Together, we aspire to build the bridge to a New India and along with an esteemed group of partners including Ashoka: Innovators for the Public, IFC, ICICI, CARE, NABARD, IL&FS, Ministry of Rural Development (Goverment of India), and others, we are well on our way.
At CGI, we have made a 10-year, $10 million commitment along with Ashoka to pioneering an approach of Total Village Management (TVM) as a global model for achieving food security and poverty alleviation, begining with our areas of operation in Jharkhand. Ashoka’s Fellows will play an instrumental role in working with us to construct an adaptive model that can be adopted and adapted by others around the world.
