    Popular Participation: Myth & Reality
    (1994-08-22) PRIA
    The word "Participation" has caught on to many a lips since the past couple of years. It is believed by many that true development can take place only through the local people's (beneficiary's) participation at all levels. To gain an insight on the actualities of the matter, a workshop- "Popular Participation Myth & Reality" had been organised by PRIA, Delhi in May 94. It was decided to carry out this research work (of one year duration) by studying the work of some agency/institution/organisation involved in grass-root development work. UNNATI, being one of the participants in this workshop, has taken up the study of an organisation called VRTI (Shree Vivekanand Research & Training Institute) located at Mandvi in Kutchchh district of Gujarat state.

    The Story of PRIA: An Experiment in Participatory Action Research
    (2005-07-25) Tandon, Rajesh
    During the first International Forum on Participatory Research held in April 1980 in Lubljana, Yugoslavia, I had met with Orlando Fals-Borda and Myles Horton. It was about a decade ago that I had read about Action Research as a student of management; it was about five years ago, as I struggled with my Doctoral dissertation data-collection in rural India that I had learnt about Participatory Research through Budd Hall and Paolo Freire. The regional networks of Participatory Research, with support from the International Council for Adult Education, had begun to have a dynamic of their own. Lubljana was our first real encounter at international levels.
