    Researcher-Societal Interrelation in Participatory Research Approach
    (Non-Formal Education Association, Tamil Nadu, 0000) Natarajan, A.V.
    This paper discusses the limitations of conventional social research and advocates for Participatory Research (PR) as a transformative approach. It critiques traditional research methods for being disconnected from the communities they aim to serve and proposes PR as a means for empowering individuals and communities to engage in self-directed development. By focusing on societal interrelations and the role of the researcher as a facilitator rather than a decision-maker, the paper emphasizes the need for community-driven, flexible research methodologies that prioritize local needs, social integration, and practical problem-solving.
