Mission: To uphold the human dignity of the oppressed and marginalized through a process of empowerment.

SJVK works towards evolving and developing a just and human society where each person is accepted and respected as a human being, and treated with dignity, values of equality, fraternity and freedom are nurtured and nourished, and atmosphere of peace and harmony is maintained and where people live in dignity, collectively shaping their own dignity.

Development here is understood not as accumulating more or having more but of people being more, just concerned, cooperative, healthy, educated, more sharing and caring, self planned and self reliant, thus being more human.

OBJECTIVES:
