Across our wider network, Kalakunj has collaborated with more than 18 NGOs / grassroots organisations for project implementation, mobilisation, community outreach and local delivery.
Existing Network + New Centres
Our implementation capability is not restricted to the existing 80+ centres. When a new project requires a different geography, Kalakunj can establish project-specific temporary centres, branches or implementation hubs and deploy trained teams for the duration of the assignment.
New Geography → New Centre → New Team → Project DeliveryThis approach allows Kalakunj to combine the stability of an existing network with the flexibility required for new CSR and institutional projects.
Our network is established. Our ambition is not limited by it.
Kalakunj has experience across multiple states, but the current network should not be understood as a geographic limitation.
These states represent our established implementation footprint. For a new project, Kalakunj can evaluate additional states and districts based on project requirements, partner availability, mobilisation potential and deployment feasibility.
From mobilisation to measurable outcomes.

Community mobilisation, candidate outreach, counselling and registration.
Training
Sector-specific technical skills, digital literacy, employability and entrepreneurship.
