Item Bridging the gap between the researcher and the community: PRIA’s engagements in promoting community based research and social responsibility in higher educational institutions(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2014) Tandon, Rajesh; Singh, Wafa; Srinivasan, SumitraPRIA has engaged with academia in a multitude of interventions, bringing community and practitioner knowledge into the portals of traditional research institutions and processes. By doing this, PRIA has helped Higher Educational Institutions (HEls) realize their social responsibility towards a community's needs and aspirations. This document traces PRIA's work in promoting community engagement within HEls in India and beyond. The experience, garnered over three decades, have been classified into six categories to highlight the different forms PRIA's interventions as a facilitator have taken to build bridges between the world of formal research, the practitioner knowledge of civil society actors and the experiential knowledge of local communities. The experiences discussed in this paper are not intended to be comprehensive; a few specific interventions are described under each category to illustrate the nature of the engagements fostered and the practices promoted.Item Knowledge for change: Mentorship training program(UNESCO Chair, 2019) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem India launch of the UNESCO Chair in community-based research and social responsibility in higher education(UNESCO Chair, 2012-12) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem Training the next generation of community based researchers: A guide for trainers(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA) & University of Victoria, 2016) Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd L; Lepore, Walter; Singh, WafaItem Community engagement as a way forward for sustainable rural societies(UNESCO Chair, 2017-09-22) Singh, Wafa; Tandon, RajeshWith over 70% of the Indian population residing in villages, it can be said that it is the 'villages, where the heart of India resides. Despite such a large rural population, the unsustainable socio-economic conditions plaguing our rural societies, even after 70 years of independence, is nothing short of a distress situation. This calls for immediate actions for improving rural conditions, and for this to happen, higher education, historically recognized as 'public institutions', needs to step in. With the sea of knowledge and resources at its disposal, it can ably pursue the agenda of sustainable development of rural societies. One of the potent tools for making this happen is community engagement. The core purpose of such engagement is to serve mutual interests of universities and communities alike. In practice, this can be executed in several ways such as engaged scholarship practices like service-learning, community based participatory research etc., with the initiatives focused on specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the rural context. This paper makes the case for such engagement for ensuring the creation of sustainable and self-reliant rural societies.Item The power of creativity, knowledge and action in knowledge mobilization: Reflections from international work(Canadian Commission for UNESCO, 2020-05) Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd LItem Commentary on the progress report on the futures of education(UNESCO Chair, 2020-04-24) Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd LItem Disciplines, professions and the sustainable development goals (SDGs): Challenges in higher education in india(Global University Network for Innovation (GUNi), 2019) Tandon, Rajesh; Pandey, PoojaItem Introduction social responsibility and community based research in higher education institutions(BRILL, 2021) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem Learning to Do, Learning to Be, Learning to Learn: Education for tomorrow(2020) Tandon, Rajesh
