    Participatory Research
    (0000) Tandon, Rajesh
    During the last decade, major debate has taken place on the inadequacies of models and strategies of development initiated during the 50s and 60s. Bulk of the criticism has centred around the lien and western nature of these development models and strategies and top-down approach centred on technology and economism. It has been argued that people's participation in their own development is the only alternative towards solving major problems confronting the world in general and the developed countries in particular. As a result, now efforts have been Launched in different settings to mobilise and organize local groups to take charge of their own development through the process of collective action in their common interest. moreover, new awareness of such ongoing efforts has also developed among those concerned with the problems of development.

    Participatory Research in Empowerment of People
    (PRIA, 1981) Tandon, Rajesh
    The paper examines the evolution and significance of Participatory Research (PR) as an alternative research paradigm in social sciences. It highlights the limitations of the classical research paradigm and the rise of PR due to dissatisfaction among professional researchers and the failures of conventional developmental efforts. Emphasizing PR’s ideological underpinnings, the author explores its dual motives: challenging the dominant research frameworks and empowering marginalized communities through knowledge. The discussion is framed within a theory of society, addressing the dynamics between the 'haves' and 'have-nots' and the transformative potential of PR in redistributing knowledge as a form of power.
