WHAT ARE THE MAIN ORGANS OF THE JEWEL?
First there is the Bureau. This is usually made up of about ten or so persons elected by the NJM congress or Convention. The Bureau has authority to coopt people into it. Almost every member of the Bureau is Secretary to one of the NJM’s Committees. The Bureau normally meets once a week. Then there are two co-ordinating secretaries who have special responsibility for the overall running of the organisation. These are also members of the Bureau. • WHAT NEXT? Next there is the National Co-ordinating council with one delegate from each village. This body has power to accept, reject or modify any decision of the Bureau, or to take any other action that it deems fit. For instance, the Council made a number of changes in the first draft of the NJM Manifesto as proposed by the Bureau. The structure of the Organisation calls for monthly council meetings. Finally there is the NJM Congress. It is made up of every member of the organisation and is scheduled to meet once a year. A joint Jewel/Map
