NF’s effort towards building the capacities of its partners has been a primary activity from the very beginning. The most important considerations are shared ownership, openness and transparency, and capacity building and learning by doing and by looking into what is already there.

Training plays an extremely important role in all of this and as the central facilitating agency, NF has assumed this role. With this in mind, NF organizes partner meets for senior management of partner agencies and capacity building workshops for the NKN center staff.Few of them were:

	NF partnered with member company Zensar to open the first knowledge centre in Pune titled Zensar-NASSCOM Knowledge Network Centre at Kharadi.
