The seeds of this organisation were sown by the early work on participatory research during the late 70s. That experience provided the philosophical basis for our work: Knowledge is Power. This perspective inspired the early activities we undertook by promoting a number of initiatives which emphasised recognition and articulation of indigenous popular knowledge in the fields of education, health-care, natural resource management etc. Over the years, different ways of expressing that philosophy gained ascendancy in PRIA's work. Today, our work in strengthening Panchayati Raj Institutions as mechanisms of local self-governance is its most explicit expression. We are using methods of organising and promoting the learning of leadership in local bodies to play their rightful role as self-governing institutions. Special emphasis is being placed on learning and empowerment of new leadership in these institutions: women and socioeconomically weaker sections of society.Item From clarity to anarchy: Participatory research approach(1979) Tandon, RajeshAs debates on participatory research gained ground in the late 1970s, questions arose about whether it was a methodology, a political stance, or something in between. This paper, presented at the African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, examines those tensions by contrasting the perspectives of grassroots activists with those of professional researchers. It considers how participatory research challenges the conventions of classical inquiry by embracing action and subjectivity, yet in doing so risks appearing unruly or even anarchic. Rather than seeking neat resolutions, the study positions participatory research as an unsettled and evolving practice, shaped as much by politics as by method.Item Asian regional participatory research network: A note(1985) Tandon, RajeshItem Knowledge and social change: An inquiry into participatory research in India(Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 1985-10) Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)During the past decade, innovations in research methodology have been attempted in different parts of the world. These innovations have arisen out of dissatisfactions from the dominant social science research methodology that became the bulwark of all inquiry in social problems and phenomena during the twentieth century Critiques of traditional social science methodology have been made on the grounds of neutrality, objectivity and control by professionals. The recent criticism has been most sharply voiced by adult educators from the third world countries where they experienced traditional social science research methodology as alienating and dehumanising, an anti-thesis of all the principles and beliefs of adult and popular education.
