Localism

A very thought-provoking article by Arun Maira, an economist and former member of the planning commission of India. The challenge for governance in the 21st century lies in a misalignment of the institutions of Bazaar (market), Sarkar (government) and Samaj (society). Societal, environmental and economic problems have become complex because they must be solved simultaneously. To solve these complex problems, the government needs policymakers and implementers who are not intimidated by complexities, but who understand and embrace it, and produce multidisciplinary solutions. #governance #publicpolicy #goverment #society #culture #market

"This task demands new approaches to what responsibility means in research. To create futures in which people can thrive, responsible research must go beyond compliance to formal rules of ethics and integrity. It must ask much bigger questions about the place of research within local communities and much larger geopolitical environments. And it must reconsider how we partner well with the governments, industries and the communities with which we are embedded. This takes us right back to the question of why we do research. Is it to publish more papers, or find a drug that makes a lot of money? Or are we here to make the world a better place?" https://lnkd.in/dJDPSxXu #research #practices #indigenousknowledge #decolonization #extractiveresearch

Localism supported the 'Aapki Yojana, Aapki Sarkar- Aapke Dwar' initiative in nine panchayats of Daru Block as an authorized VLE. A total of 254 members submitted applications for different services from 9 Panchayats. Out of these applications, 110 were approved from field location and submitted for next steps. Ms. Nancy Sahaay, the Honourable DC of Hazaribagh, visited one of our intervention locations, Digawar Panchayat, and appreciated the efforts of VLEs. She also shared details of various schemes such as JMMSY,Guruji credit card, CMEGP, and PMEGP with the villagers.

The triumph of Localism's initiative is deeply rooted in the strong partnerships we’ve forged at the Panchayat, block, and district levels. By nurturing these critical connections within the system, we've been able to catalyze meaningful change on a broader scale. The Localism team is profoundly grateful for the steadfast support and recognition from the communities, their leaders at the village and Panchayat levels, and the dedicated officials across the Panchayat, block, and district levels.
