Genesis:


India after getting independence in 1947,faced serious poverty, ignorance, illiteracy ,disease and inequality of opportunity and the Government towards addressing these concerns established, the Planning Commission of India to formulate the country’s Five-Year Plans for assessing all the available resources, augmenting deficient resources, and for determining priorities.


The second five year plan envisaged the principles of ‘socialistic pattern of society and put stress on raising standards of living by raising national income through a rapid industrialization process to generate employment opportunities and reduce inequalities in society by trickling down benefits to the poorer sections in society. However the Challenges were so complex that many Social Activists were concerned about Persistent inequality as reflected in the low human development among most marginalized groups including scheduled castes, tribal and rural populations, women, transgenders, people living with HIV and migrants. The tragedy of Gender inequality in India persisted despite high rates of economic growth, particularly apparent among marginalized groups. The women were forced to bear the burdens of all errant happenings in society and getting them empowered was a distant dream.


In the year 1998,a group of concerned persons lead by Shri.S.A.Rahim debated about the injustices and inequalities persisted in the society and determined to fight it out ,especially in rural India and formed a Voluntary Organisation namely RUPEC (Rural Unemployment and Poverty Eradication Centre) at R.K.PETA in Tamilnadu and brought tremendous empowerment of rural people ,especially the women folk.Then District Collector of Tiruvallur District was trying to use the NGOs for reaching out to the people and recognizing the highly spirited works carried out by RUPEC Team,the RUPEC Chairman was entrusted with the post of Convener and consequently due to manifold reasons and to strengthen social work, a National Net work of NGOs namely INGO-JAC(Indian Non Government Organizations –Joint Action Council) was formed with its Head Quarters at Kanchepuram in Tamilnadu.INGO-JAC later established a Resource Centre at Katwarai Sarai in New Delhi and was catering to the needs of NGOs from different states of India.
