For three decades, PRIA has not only built capacities of/trained grassroots development workers to incorporate the PR approach in their work, it has used the PR methodology in implementing its own projects. The objective of this paper is to illustrate the application of a gendered approach to using PR in some recent interventions of PRIA. How have the principles and methodology of PR been incorporated into project activities, and were there any PR outcomes in the project? How was people’s knowledge and voice, especially those of women, valued? Did the project entail production of new knowledge, new learnings? Did local actors have a role in production of that knowledge? What use has been made of that knowledge and by whom? The paper begins with a very brief overview of the PR approach and the potential outcomes of adopting this approach. The next section describes the PR methodology and suggestive gendered outcomes in four recent initiatives undertaken by PRIA. The last section summarises the PR outcomes from the four initiatives.Item Women and multiple vulnerabilities in an area of unrest: Key issues and challenges of tribal women in dumka and jamtara districts of Jharkhand: Final report(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2013-11-12) Jaitli, Namrata; Singh, Shivani; Ahluwalia, Deepa; NasruddinItem Apna swasthya apni pehel, Participatory research in asia(2018) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)Item Contemporary conversations and movements in adult education: From knowledge democracy to the aesthetic turn(2022) Hall, Budd L; Clover, Darlene EWhat does it mean to contribute meaningfully to the evolving field of adult education today? In this article, Dr. Budd Hall and Darlene E Clover examine and engage with several contemporary conversations and movements in which they have been active participants, describing our respective contributions to the field of adult education. Hall focuses on the interconnected frameworks of knowledge democracy, community-based participatory research, and social movement learning. Clover advances new understandings at the intersection of aesthetics and gender justice, drawing upon her research and teaching work across both areas. Together, their reflections demonstrate the diverse ways in which adult education can contribute to social transformation and democratic engagement. Through a reflective examination of their scholarly and practical contributions, the article explores how adult educators can engage with questions of knowledge, justice, and social change. .Item Report of the training on participatory methodology for community development- Phase 11(PRIA, 1992-11-16) Aurat FoundationItem Participatory evaluation of the M. Puthur rural expansion project of national Y.W.C.A.(Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA) , 1986-08) Manilal V.Set against the backdrop of post-disaster rehabilitation in Tamil Nadu, this paper presents a participatory evaluation of the M. Puthur Rural Expansion Project initiated by the YWCA of India. The study examines how efforts in adult education, Mahila Mandals, and youth clubs shaped local leadership and created early forms of village-based organization. Through field discussions, community meetings, and self-assessments, the evaluation traces both the possibilities of collective action and the limitations faced in sustaining it. The research positions participatory evaluation not simply as a technical exercise, but as a process that reveals how communities negotiate leadership, self-reliance, and their relationship with external agencies. In doing so, it leaves open questions about how such initiatives might deepen local control and reshape the role of supporting institutions.
