CONFEDERATION OF CIVIL SOCIETIES- INDIA

 

Societal cause orientation now embodies far more effective  collaborations and networking at challenging planes of civil-government-corporate interactions. Seeing the deficit of trust and interpretation at the grassroots in utilization of various government and corporate schemes, it is time civil society is given due esteem and support to emerge as the great ‘enabler’ and an aggregate of social trust keepers. Professionalization of civil society operations needs to rise much above the corporate or governmental expectations of documentation and audit.

 

Now, when the technological developments are outpacing the conventional transactional routes, and when disruptive innovations are forcing re-set of existing paradigms of business and social development, any movement to meet sustainable future calls for a strong equity of civil society anchored modes for public representation and participation in non-formal, flexible, yet full of local knowledge &  wisdom scenarios.

​

Confederation of Civil Society -India (CCSI)  is a non-government, not-for-profit, CBO-led and managed organization, with around 6,000 members. For more several decades, CCSI  has been engaged in aiding  India’s social development journey and works proactively on transforming Indian Community Based Organizations (CBOs) engagement in national development. It charts change by working closely with Government on policy issues, interfacing with thought leaders, and enhancing efficiency, competitiveness, and business opportunities for youth & women  through a range of specialized services and strategic global linkages. It also provides a platform for consensus-building and networking on key issues. It contributes through programmes across diverse domains including affirmative action, livelihoods, diversity management, skill development, innovation and technology adoption, empowerment of women, and sustainable development, to name a few. It works by catalysing institutional partnerships amongst  counterpart grassroot organizations, panchayats, and other local governance institutions to play a transformative part in shaping the future of the nation.
