Janmaitri Kalpghati Yuva samiti

Introduction:
The Janmatri Kalpgathi Youth Organization (JKYO) is a Youth Development Organization committed to strengthening integrated development systems in the developing world and expanding access to care for Youth and women in the remotest villages in the district. JKYO’s solution-oriented approach focuses on improving market dynamics for Local Crops and helping governments build the capacity required for high-quality training programs with community. Also focusing on disaster Management training for youth and variable women, training is very effective for youth to make awareness among the community in the time of disaster.

Janmatri Kalpgathi Youth Organization (JKYO) is an NGO working through its comprehensive integrated rural development programme in district Chamoli, Uttaranchal since 2009. JKYO has reached out to 55 villages (300 villages in district Chamoli alone) in the state through its rural development programme. It has diverse programme components addressing multifaceted issues of people’s life through their active participation. JKYO’s central idea is to organize and build Community Based Organizations (CBOs) of women, youth, adolescent, children and strengthen Gramsabhas for effective Panchayati Raj Institutions to enable self-reliance in the systems and processes of sustainable development in most remote and high altitude Himalayas. Helping with Community Based Rehabilitation for the persons with differently able peoples is also an integral programme of JKYO.
Role of Youth:
We are slowly but surely moving towards an unsustainable lifestyle – a lifestyle against the environment. This lifestyle is about disturbing the inextricable linkage between our existence as a race and the environment.
Youth which forms nearly 40% of the total Population of India, is the most vibrant and dynamic segment of the country’s population in 21st century. The time has come to optimally tap their constructive and creative energies, by linking the twin objectives of personality building and nation building. Developing the personality of youth and involving them in various nation-building activities. It is about finding the common sense required to peacefully co-exist with nature.
The Uttarakhand Himalaya (Central Himalayan Region) has been, for ages, a symbol of natural beauty and splendor of peace and spirituality, of loftiness and majesty. People from far and wide as pilgrims of divine, explorers of far and wide as pilgrim of divine, explorers of nature and adventurous mountaineers have been drawn to these Himalayas for centuries.
The Region with abounding natural resources has since perpetuity, served the food, security and energy needs of the nation. Yet its people, the timeless custodians of the nature’s bounty, have limited access to and management of resources for bona fide needs as food, fodder, fuel, shelter, safe drinking water, irrigation, electricity, market access to name a few. Valuable human resource of the Region, though hard working and literate, voice helplessness with outpouring migration to cities for livelihood pursuits. Women, the supporting pillar as household managers, agro-allied facilitators and guardians of natural resources bear the burden of every day toil under dwindling resources. With subsistence becoming more pronounced, they are victims of general apathy and need utmost attention and support for envisioning a progressive hill state.
More than six decades of development process, since Independence, has no doubt brought civil roads, infrastructures, communication and created organizational structures to take care of various developmental works: its ground assessment leaves many a query to be answered. In view of this, it is high-time to reflect and bring about a paradigm shift in development model and processes, with greater if not total involvement of people.
It is to bring about this involvement of people in the process of development of the Region that a group of social workers and volunteers initiated a movement in 2006and in 2009 founded the Janmatri Kalpgathi Youth Organization– JKYO (Registered under Society Registration Act21, 1860) at Urgam valley, District Chamoli, Uttarakhand, India.

Organizational Commitment

It is difficult to find any comprehensive work that does not pay attention to the concept of organizational commitment. Affective Commitment relates to emotional attachment; Continuance Commitment emphasizes cost-consciousness (close to calculative commitment given by JKYO); Normative Commitment reflects obligation-consciousness. Researchers have noted that organizational processes and practices deserve attention as potential determinants of OC. OC believed that employee perceptions of organizational policies reflect a sense of reciprocity and the levels of concern that the organization appears to have, for its employees.

Overall, research has shown that individuals and organizations are adversely affected by low commitment and benefit from high commitment. However, the changing employment scenario in a dynamic environment has disrupted employee commitment. OC in Multinational Companies, therefore, is a topic of growing importance to scholars and practitioners. It is thus worth looking at the status of OC among Indian executives working in multinationals operating in India. Most studies have examined the impact of certain variables on OC, measuring OC with the help of traditional descriptions. However, authors such as have pointed out that it is difficult to make a significant contribution because of the way commitment has been studied.
