Item Unity in Diversity: The Future of Adult Education in Asia and the South-Pacific Region(1991-12) Tandon, RajeshItem Network as an Instrument for Sterngthening Adult Education Movement(Society for Participatory Research in Asia, 1987-07) Tandon, RajeshThe last decade has been a significant one in modern human history in many ways. A large number of socio-economic and political problems facing humanity have surfaced dramatically: hunger, famine, illiteracy, war, apartheid, ecological degradation, exploitation of women, etc. The response of the World Community to these problems can be categorized in two broad streams. The first, more widespread and resource-packed response has been from the governments of the South and North, and inter-governmental institutions. This response has been largely inadequate in solving any of the above problems, despite backed by massive resources and large delivery mechanisms comprising of administrative frameworks and organizations,. The second response, more humble and sparse, less resourceful and visible, sporadic, interttent, has come from what has broadly come to be called the Non-govern-mental sector and teachers; individuals, groups, small organizations. These are students church and temple inspired philanthropists: grass-roots educators in villages and barrios; voluntary organizations, research and training institutions, individual activists, trade unionists, professionals (lawyers, engineers, doctors, nurses, etc.) a whole range of ordinary people in our countries.Item Development Training of Marginal Farmers in India(1980) Tandon, RajeshTHE last three decades have been characterised by the search for strategies of development in all parts of the world. Various theories and models of development have been propounded; various programmes and projects of development have been attempted. In the developing countries, search for developmental approaches has become more intense. Both the developed as well as the developing countries are engaged in large scale experimentation in this direction. To the extent that bulk of the developing countries are still, by and large, rural societies, most of the resources have flown into the area of rural development.Item Issues and Experiences in Participatory Research in Asia(1979-06-25) Tandon, RajeshThe concept and meaning of Participatory Research (PR) has been amply discussed in the various articles and seminars during the past three years. While it is important to briefly indicate my own understanding of PR, this paper is primarily an attempt to put together some key characteristics of PR in Asia. The paper is based on the recent meetings. held in India and Thailand as well as a number of reports received from the various researchers.PR is an attempt, in my view, to move beyond the chocking limitations of classical social sciences research.
