    Participatory Research: An Approach in a Tribal Non-Formal Education Setting
    (Andhra University, Department of Adult & Continuing Education, 0000) Rao, D. Subba
    This research paper explores the application of participatory research in developing a non-formal education program for tribal youth in Khammam District, Andhra Pradesh. The author highlights the limitations of classical research methods and describes the collaborative approach adopted to devise a curriculum tailored to the unique needs of the tribal community. Through interactions and fieldwork, a methodology was developed, including sentence pattern learning and practical lessons on cooperation, agriculture, and self-reliance. The outcomes indicate significant socio-economic improvements and a shift towards self-reliance among participants. Challenges and learnings from this initiative are also discussed, with implications for broader applications in non-formal education settings.
