CHAIRPERSON’S NOTE
Global Village Foundation was established in January 2015 with a mission to provide research based, efficient and appropriate policy frameworks. The driving force of our organization is to achieve an equitable society sustained by holistic and responsive development.
In the past year, we have worked with the state government of Haryana and achieved many a milestones. GVF is engaged in capacity building of government officials through specific and general programs. Many of the subjects on which GVF has worked have been implemented in Haryana. We have successfully persuaded NASSCOM to facilitate skill development of youth in Haryana with an aim to create 50000 jobs in the ITes companies. GVF has been appointed as a nodal agency to facilitate this process under a Memorandum of Understanding entered into between Technical Education Department, Government of Haryana, NASSCOM Foundation and GVF. The suggestion of amnesty scheme under Haryana Value Added Tax to release amounts clogged in court proceedings was given by GVF and this too has been implemented.
After thorough research, a range of suggestions has been made by GVF on Education, Industry Reforms and Public Finance. These policy suggestions have been given to the State Government from time to time. The success of these suggestions has been widely reported and acknowledged in media.
GVF is actively involved on issues relating to power sector, industrial policy and education in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir has adopted the policy suggestions of the GVF in their Industrial Policy. The policy suggestions so adopted involve streamlining the single window system to facilitate ease of doing business. University of Jammu &Kashmir has signed an MoU with Concentrix with the efforts of GVF for the skill development of its students from the CSR fund of the company.
This report provides a picture of the many out reach programs we will work in our future. We aspire to involve and inspire dialogue from all stakeholders concerned through this message.
