Item African regional workshop on participatory research (1-7 July): "From clarity to Anarchy – Participatory research approach"(PRIA, 1979-07) Tandon, RajeshItem Certificate in international perspectives in participatory research instructional guidelines(PRIA & UVic, 2013) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA); University of VictoriaItem Collaborative participatory research in gender mainstreaming in social change organizations(Participatory research in Asia (PRIA), 2006-11-19) Tandon, Rajesh; Farrell, MarthaUnequal gender relations in societies, specially developing countries, have been focus of development programmes for decades. Much of this focus has been on changing gender relations in communities. However, organisations - governmental and private also reflect similar patterns of gender relations. Advocacy for gender mainstreaming in organisations has had limited success due to prescriptive approach. PRIA has adopted a learning process approach to gender mainstreaming in development NGOs in India. Collaborative Research methodology has been utilized towards this end. This paper describes one such case and draws implications for future research and practice.Item Dialogue as inquiry and intervention(1981) Tandon, RajeshItem From clarity to anarchy: Participatory research approach (A critique of "The methodology of the participatory research approach")(1979) Tandon, RajeshThis paper presents conceptual arguments to delineate the methodology of participatory research approach. After presenting an excellent analysis of the social and professional contexts of the origin of PRA, the authors describe various points of view which are broadly subsumed under PRA. The degree of researcher's political activism is seen as the main dimension on which these various points of view differ.Item Linkage between participatory research, participatory evaluation and participatory training(1983-05-05)As participatory approaches gained ground in the early 1980s, questions emerged about how research, evaluation, and training might intersect in practice. This paper explores the close relationship between these three processes, showing how they often overlap and evolve within the same project rather than remaining separate domains. Through discussions of field experiences, it reflects on the complexity of roles that facilitators, educators, and community members assume, and the tensions that arise in balancing activism, research, and organizational structures. The study also considers the possibilities of applying participatory methods to diverse fields such as primary education, forestry, and women’s empowerment, while highlighting the constraints of time, resources, and institutional support. Instead of drawing final conclusions, it leaves the reader with open questions about how participatory practice can expand its reach while staying true to its empowering intent.Item Lived realities of women sanitation workers in india insights from a participatory research conducted in three cities of India(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2019-06) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)Item Participatory Evaluation and Research: Main Concepts and Issues(Indian Social Institute, 1981) Tandon, RajeshFrom the days in the 1930s when the University of Bombay first introduced a post-graduate course in sociology, to our days, there has been a gradual change to the professionalization of the social sciences. With professionalization came specialisation and its acceptance as a science that can be considered objective by creating a distance between the researcher and the 'object' of study i.e., the people studied—actors in the social setting.Item Participatory evaluation in adult education(Society for Participatory Research In Asia, 1994-11) Tandon, RajeshItem Participatory research as a methodology of development(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 0000) Tandon, RajeshItem Participatory research in Asia(1980) Tandon, RajeshItem Participatory research, educational experience and empowerment of adults(Society for Participatory Research in Asia, 1985-01) Tandon, RajeshItem Participatory research, educational experience, and empowerment of adults(PRIA, 1985-01) Tandon, RajeshItem Proposal for the study of participatory research, evaluation and training efforts in India(PRIA, 0000) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)This proposal outlines a study to document, analyze, and synthesize participatory processes in research, evaluation, and training across diverse settings in India. It highlights the shift in development strategies toward bottom-up, participatory approaches emphasizing empowerment, organizational building, and integration of popular knowledge. The study aims to fill gaps in documentation and provide accessible insights to grassroots activists and professionals. The methodology includes selecting case studies, engaging with stakeholders, and conducting field observations and workshops to generate actionable findings. Key questions include exploring control dynamics, knowledge creation, praxis, and empowerment in participatory processes. The study aims to produce a final report in multiple languages for wide dissemination.Item Refreshing consumer welfare in India: Opportunities for participatory democracy(0000) Tandon, RajeshItem Report of the sixth state finance commission of Sikkim: Report for the award period 2025-26 to 2029-30(State Finance Commission (SFC), 2023-10) State Finance Commission (SFC)Item Research, commitment and action: The role of participatory research(International Review of Education, 1985-09) Hall, Budd LThe author discusses the development and practice of participatory research as both a method and strategy of social investigation and social action within an adult education framework.
