We think differently JCDA believe in doing business in ethical manners and we have published admirable ethical behavioral guidelines for our members over our website. While the objective of all business is to make profits, it should contribute to the interest of the society by ensuring fair practices. JCDA is aware of its responsibility towards the environment as well as human beings. We are working towards making our association GREEN. JCDA understand the consequences of smoking, taking drugs & alcohol. JCDA will always promote healthy & natural eating habits to improve health & wealth of its members. JCDA also believe that elections must be the last resort for deciding over the post of any responsibility in the association. Members must come forward voluntarily for helping the association becoming stronger. It has been observed everywhere that elections resulted in bilateral groups and resulted in dead - end destinations. For social or professional groups like us, we can not afford the differences among team members. Unless not very essential, the selections should be preferred on unanimously nomination basis.
