About Janwani:  Beginnings and Vision

Janwani is an initiative of the Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA), it was formed  in 2006 to advocate and promote equitable and sustainable development in the city beneficial to the citizens. This is turn stems from the fact that the city will not be an attractive destination unless it is a truly “livable city”. 

Janwani endeavors to take a comprehensive view of city development. We work towards identifying gaps and priority areas in the development process, and providing well researched and implementable solutions. We are working to both create a shared vision amongst Punekars of the type of city they want, and bring this vision to reality by networking, facilitating and driving the development process of the city on the desired
path. 

We function by

• Creating public awareness.
• Networking with people and institutions from diverse fields to analyze issues and find solutions.
• Establishing structures and by setting in motion processes whereby things begin to happen.
