A Comparative Analysis on Thomas Hardy and Zaverchand Meghani With Special Reference to Styles and Themes
Thomas Hardy and Zaverchand Meghani both use the art of storytelling to highlight all the unique characteristics of their locale. Because of their surroundings, their characters' lives tend to follow a certain pattern. They have a destiny that is somewhat typical of the area. Only in their own region do their characters exist. Both authors of the novels are conventional storytellers. Around the fire, Hardy is ancient mariner reciting tales. It is…
Thinking beyond Ecology
Green and decent work in the Global South is inextricably linked to sustaining rural livelihoods especially in agriculture that has undergone significant deskilling under the top-down, technocentric assemblages of the Green Revolution. Additionally, agrarian communities are also seeing youth quitting farming occupations in search of better livelihood options. Scholarly attention to green transitions though has been largely limited to the ecologic…
Building bridges in policy implementation during a pandemic
Despite the widely acknowledged importance of consultative policymaking, interventions to encourage stakeholder participation remain scarce. The presence of exigencies, such as the pandemic, can further normalise the lack of participative processes unless serious alternatives are presented. This paper presents the results of an exercise, during the pandemic, on Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) through an e-survey of stakeholders whose views, …
Creative Dissent in India
There is an increasing interest among STS scholars to go beyond public understanding of science to look at the role of social movements in shaping alternate science and exploring the role of scientific dissent and the reconfiguration of the relations between scientists and citizens. The increasing popularity of citizen science that seeks to reengage the public in science needs to be situated within broader social movements that have argued for mo…
Motivating youth engagement in sustainable agriculture
This paper highlights ways to address the knowledge–practice gap in the agricultural domain by examining the initiatives of the Community-managed Natural Farming (CNF) Program of the Andhra Pradesh Government in India. The novel initiative to motivate and involve youth known as “Natural Farming Fellows” (NFF), amongst others, has facilitated farmers’ transition to sustainable agriculture practices. As agricultural graduates trained in the mainstr…
Coordination in multi-actor policy implementation
There is an increasing involvement of a number of non-state actors such as NGOs and community based organisations (CBOs) in poverty alleviation programmes. This calls for greater coordination among the actors for the effective implementation of such programmes. This article explores the various factors influencing coordination in multi-actor policy implementation, using a case study of a rural livelihoods enhancement programme implemented in the …
Constructing Alternative Socio-technical Worlds
While Responsible Research and Innovation has the potential for democratising the governance of research and innovation, translating it in the Global South would need dialogues and engaging with the plural knowledge systems and ongoing experiments on innovation at the margins that seek to construct alternatives. Entrenched power relations in the South do not allow for public dialogues that allows for society to engage with, if not speak back, to …
The Introduction of SRI in Uttarakhand, India
Cet article discute les représentations du système de riziculture intensive (SRI) – un ensemble de principes agronomiques promus comme méthode de riziculture durable – vis-à-vis de trois notions clés du développement agricole: rendements, durabilité et adoption par les agriculteurs. Nous soutenons que c’est par le biais d’affirmations exagérées (qu’elles soient positives ou négatives) sur le lien entre SRI et ces trois notions, que le SRI a acqui…
Innovating at the margins
I explore transformative social innovation in agriculture through a particular case of agroecological innovation, the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in India. Insights from social innovation theory that emphasize the roles of social movements and the reengagement of vulnerable populations in societal transformation can help reinstate the missing "social" dimension in current discourses on innovation in India. India has a rich and vibrant tr…
