Abstract. A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G = (V, E)$ is called a vertex cover, if each edge in E has at least one end point in $S$ and the minimum cardinality taken over all vertex covering sets of $G$ is called the covering number of $G$ denoted by $\beta(G)$. In this paper, we study some results on vertex covering, edge covering, strong and weak covering, and inverse covering numbers denoted by $\beta(G)$, $\beta^\prime(G)$, $s\beta(G)$, $w\beta(G)$, $\beta^{-1}(G)$ respectively for generalized Jahangir graphs $J_{s,m}$. We have also characterized the graphs which are invertible.
