LOK-SAMVAD

Enhancing Participation for Social Development:

The Role of Participatory Communication and Community Media

Venue: New Delhi Date: 15 th-16 th December,

2011

BACKGROUND

The role of communication in enhancing participation in governance and improving the development

indicators is

needless

to

say

very

significant.

This

has

been

noted

by

many

scholars

and

planners

and

hence

finds its reflection in the planning and fund allocation for communication in different government programmes

and schemes. However, questions remain on which paradigm of communication is best suited for the purpose

of improving participation and ownership in governance.

In the present context of India, the representational aspect of governance has assumed immense importance.

With the 73rd

Amendment on local Self ‐Governance ushering in a new possibility of decentralized governance,

the last two decades have been witnesses to many initiatives and measures to improve peoples’ participation

in governance. This is improving transparency and responsibility at both ends.

Despite openness, the practice of development communication has mostly relied on a top‐down approach. In

participatory development, the communication processes itself allows access, participation and ownership

among communities

‐helping

them

decide,

create,

own

and

disseminate

content.

Numerous examples across the globe indicate that a sustainable for the participatory communication

paradigm is through Community Media Institutions. Community Media is a locally based media institution

which is ‘by, of and for the communities’, has a limited reach, deals with local issues, low cost and culturally

relevant. Thus, in its true sense a decentralized media playing the role of ‘watchdog of the society’.

In India, an opportunity was created when after a long struggle, the Government of India announced its new

Community Radio Policy in December 2006. For the first time in the history of India, communities were

allowed to apply for licenses to set‐up and manage their own radio stations through NGOs. It became

important to invest in Community Media as it offered the immense opportunity for the communities to ‘voice’

their views and participate in the development process. It has democratized media and created a third tier of

media at local level. It is becoming a tool for social change – demonstrating the importance of investing in

programmes that

create

community

‘voices’.

Irrespective of all this merits, the use of Community Media has not grown at a pace which was expected and

desired. The reasons vary ‐ from those related to a lack of understanding about the possibilities and use of the

media to policy regulations. This is good time to deliberate on the experiences gained in using community

media, the challenges and immense opportunities offered. Five years after the Community Radio Policy came

into effect; the workshop is opportune in providing a platform for sharing experiences in the use of other

community media and facilitates partnerships between the government, the private sector and the civil

society.

RATIONALE and OBJECTIVES

The need for concerted action towards a country wide participatory communication intervention calls for

closer linkages between the various stakeholders leading, promoting and supporting such initiatives. The

experiences need to be shared, discussed and common intervention strategies formulated focused on

development

agendas

like

health,

education,

livelihood,

agriculture,

involving

government

agencies,

donors

and grass‐root organizations.

This two day workshop involving participatory communications practitioners, International Non Government

Organizations (INGOs), Government Organizations (GOs) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

representatives is intended to share experiences in use of participatory communication methodologies as an

effective communication approach for development programs. Additionally the workshop would advocate

actions to include participatory communication and community media in the development agenda,

recommended by working groups including practitioners. The objectives of the workshop are ‐

To have a shared understanding of participatory communication, role and needs, its ethos, working

principles, strategies and perceived impacts on development agendas.

Identify areas within Government and NGO programs where participatory communication approaches

have potential

use

Recommend immediate actions for demonstration and use of participatory communication in select

areas/programmes.

DESIGN of the WORKSHOP

The workshop is divided into 4 technical sessions:

Day 1

1. Participation for Better Governance: The role of participatory communication and community

media: Presentations on potential, importance and experience in use of participatory communication.

2. Group Work:

Immediate

actions

to

enhance

use

of

participatory

communication:

Groups,

based

on

thematic areas, recommend actions to enhance the use of participatory communication in

programmes.

Day 2

1. Participatory Communication: Challenges and Role of Government and non‐government agencies to

overcome them: Presentations on the challenges, especially capacities for participatory

communication, and the importance, process and benefits of capacity building.

2. Recommendations for Enhancing Participatory Communication: Presentations on the group work

and panel discussion with decision makers from the Government agencies, INGOs and CSR

organizations.

PROCESS DOCUMENTATION

LOK-SAMVAD

Enhancing participation for social development: Role of participatory communication and

community media

Day 1

WELCOME ADDRESS

The welcome address was given by Mr. Ashok Chaterjee who highlighted the need for knowledge

sharing, and

proper

monitoring

and

evaluation

processes

along

with

uniform

indicators

in

order

to

measure the achievement and to keep a check on the development processes being implemented.

He reiterated the importance of development processes being participatory, giving voice to those

who are last in line. Some of other the key points he spoke about:

• Those who participate are the ones in‐charge

• Communication is not just about sending and receiving messages

• Top‐down approach is an unhealthy approach to development

INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Mrs. Supriya Sahu Joint Secretary Information and broadcast ministry discussed few relevant points

including the status of ownership of Community Radio Station in India, how it has either been taken

over by non‐ Government organizations or campuses/universities as against the idea of it being

owned solely by the community.

Technical session I:

The first technical session on the strengths and constraints of participatory communication in

reaching the Millennium Development goals was presented by Mr. Paulo Mefalopulos, chief

communication for

development,

UNICEF.

He

spoke

about

a participant’s

perception

about

the

word

“participatory”, he also stated the fact that 85% of people in the world were devoid of power to

make basic decisions in their life. He quoted a line from Amartya Sen’s book in which he says

“ poverty is social deprivation, it’s the worst kind of deprivation we have.” He ended his presentation

with a thought provoking fact –“change imposed is change opposed.

Presentations by grass‐root organizations

The idea behind presentations of these few case studies was to get a deeper understanding of the

impact of participatory communication using different forms of media like video, print, theatre and

radio.

Case study of an Educational Community Video unit using participatory communication an

initiative by Udaan, DRISHTI and Quest Alliance

Presented by: Mr. Vijay Parmar, CEO Janvikas

Area of implementation: Gujarat (Vatva, Bhavnagar, Halol )

Videoshala is a project ‐ where videos are used as a medium to for education interaction and fun,

these are also called as educational community video units (ECVU). These ECVUs are run by the local

community targeting children in the age group of 5‐14 years from government schools in the vicinity.

Educational videos are prepared after conducting a detailed research by the community producers,

video prepared

are

integrated

with

values

of

diversity,

equality

and

democracy.

Discussion:

• What kind of training is provided to the children

Children are provided with complete training starting from few acting classes till

production and the final cut, they are an integral part of the production.

• What is the process of evaluation

Evaluation is on learning and behavioral change. The pre and post screening evaluation

form given

to

the

students

to

fill

gives

a fair

idea

of

the

child’s

understanding

coupled

with focused group discussions and personal interviews.

• What is the process of topic selection?

The topics finalized are hard spots from a particular subject which the teachers find

difficult to explain and the students find difficult to understand these hard spots are

collectively identified by class room facilitators, teachers, community producers and

children/students. The topics finalized for a particular film are then integrated with

values of democracy, diversity and equality.

• What kind of challenges do you face while working with children and the community?

Challenges are not as daunting, children we work with or who are part of this process

have already become an integral part of the group, and it is more of a learning and

knoweldege sharing rapport we /community producers share with them.

Well that said we still have to work out a mechanism to make ECVUs sustainable and

expand and upscale this process to as many schools as possible.

Case study on using participatory communication via print media, an initiative by Nirantar, New

Delhi

Presented by: Mamta Phatak

Area

of

implementation:

Uttar

Pradesh‐

Chitrakoot,

Vanda,

Bihar‐

Sitamarhi

Khabar Lahriya is a community media initiative, which involves women taking over print media, from

researching to editing till distribution. This unique initiative involves women who have atleast been

through few year of schooling, but few of them who have not attended school but still express their

interest are taken in for helping in drawing or caricatures and painting for the publication.

Discussion:

• What is the model for sustainability

There are no models for sustainability finalized as yet, but we are working on it.

Sustainability has to be looked at from other angels and depends on various other

factors like philanthropic contributions, Government, membership, etc

• Is it registered or non‐registered? And who has the ownership?

Yes it is registered, as of now under Nirantar but will eventually be transferred off to

another NGO setup which will be run by our community journalist.

• What is the level of community participation?

We have community participation at every level. Apart from the reporters who are also

from

the

community,

the

topic

selection,

stories,

etc

are

all

collected

from

the

community. Compilation and editing of articles are solely done by the senior members

of the group.

If the reporters have doubts or lack research on a topic, they come to us for help,

otherwise they are on their own.

• Is it a paid publication?

Yes it is a paid publication. Each copy is sold for Rs 2/‐

Technical session II

Group work: Immediate actions to enhance use of participatory communication

The need for group work was felt during the planning stage of LOK-SAMVAD. Having experts

working in varied field having diverse experience of using participatory communication vis a vis

community media all at one place called out to getting together collaborative efforts toward finding

solutions to issues that can be best dealt with using different forms of participatory communication

in the field of Health & nutrition, Education and Local Governance & development (this thematic

issue also included water & sanitation and agriculture).

Design of the workshop ‐ All the participants were asked to choose the group they wanted to be in,

list down their names and select a facilitator and chairperson for their respective groups.

Each group was asked to work on four main points under their thematic issue, which included:

• Challenges

• Possible solutions that can be addressed using participatory communication

• Participatory communication approaches

• Key challenges of using participatory communication

Groups were given approximately two and half hours to complete the exercise, after which mock

presentations of the group work was conducted inviting suggestions and queries from other

participants.

A report back session was facilitated by Mrs. Alka Malhotra, once the presentation drafts were

prepared by the group. Each group shared their experience of doing the activity in a group, they

spoke about their thought flow, ideas which generated during brain storming and how varied

experiences from different people in the group helped them to finally look at an issue from different

perspectives and helped them to explore different avenues, mediums to find solutions using

participatory communication.

DAY 2

Technical session III: Participatory communication challenges and role of government and non‐

government agencies

On

the

dais‐

Mr. Gagan Sethi, Trustee DRISHTI

Mr. Sajan Veyinoor, Secretary Community Radio Forum

Excerpts of Mr. Gagan Sethi’s interaction with the participants

• He thanked the community media and mass media movement in India which has changed

the word ‘public’ who are no more the vision of large mass of uninformed people just in a

span of few years.

• People are longing to experience the magic of technology.

• Concept of Public hearing should be made mandatory in order to keep the processes of

development participatory.

• Participatory communication has more power than we think it has it can bring about

democratization of Indian politics.

Mr Sajan Veyinoor shared a presentation, on the status of community radio stations in India today,

their achievements and the laws surrounding it. In the light of the law, rules and policies surrounding

a

community

radio

station

in

India

he

highlighted

experiences

from

some

community

radio

station

in

other parts of the world:

• The tuk‐tuk radio from Sri Lanka, as the name suggests is a radio station run and managed in

an autorickshaw, making it more accessible and people friendly

• As there is no license policy for setting up radio stations in Bangkok similar to Nepal, there is

one radio station for every 10,000 people.

Mr. Sajan was very elated to share his experience of the first Community Radio station he witnessed

in Kashmir, run by Kashmiri pundits (pictures given in the presentation). His presentation also highlighted

the never ending debate on why broadcast of NEWS on community radio is considered as a threat to

National security?

He discussed the limitations and challenges of community radio stations in India which eventually

limits the scope of change even though there is an immense potential in this medium (CR).

( Power point presentation of each group has been attached as zip.file)



13

Some suggestions, questions that came up from the discussion are as follows:

• Why is Community Radio in India still struggling with its ownership? Were Community Radio

Stations perceived

as

NGO

supported

and

run?

As Mr. Gagan Sethi took on this question he metaphorically compared a community

radio station in India with a child, who would falter, fall and finally learn to pick up and

walk independently. He said it has only been 6 years since community radio’s in India

have been legalized, this is the time we need to nurture it and take care of it.

• Focus should not be lost from setting up low cost studios, getting easy and people friendly

technology.

• Capacity building processes have to become more robust.

• We as

participatory

communication

advocates

should

not

forget

“voice

is

development”

• Continues process of transfer of knowledge has to be adopted

• Community has to be gradually equipped to manage the radio station; this process has to be

done slowly and steadily.

• Participatory communication develops a sense of ownership, retention and ensures

behavioral change.

Case study

on

using

participatory

communication

via

theatre

and

folk

art,

an

initiative

by

Banglanatak dot com, Kolkata

Presented by: Madhura Dutta

Area of implementation: There areas of work are spread out almost in the entire county, with

focus on Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Goa, West Bengal and Delhi

Bangalanatak dot com is a social enterprise, with a vision to synergize cultural and economic

development not only for preservation of cultural heritage and diversity but also facilitating

sustainable development of people. They use theatre and folk art to provide livelihood opportunities

to rural and tribal communities rich in oral traditions, performing arts and traditional craftsmanship.

Their approach

is

to

safe

guard

intangible

cultural

heritage

as

means

of

sustainable

development.



14

Technical session IV: Recommendations for enhancing participatory communication

The groups were asked to continue working on the presentation from the previous day. All the

groups

working

on

the

thematic

issues

of

Health

&

Nutrition,

Education

and

Local

governance

&

Development were requested to add 2 more parts to their presentation, final presentations included

–

• Challenges

• Possible solutions that can be addressed using participatory communication

• Participatory communication approaches

• Key challenges of using participatory communication

•

Immediate

actions

to

harness

potential

of

participatory

communication

• Policy and programme recommendations

The groups were requested to complete their presentation in a pre‐designed format (which was

circulated) and also to incorporate all suggestions and recommendations that were discussed on the

previous day.

PLENARY SESSION:

On the dais –

• Mrs. Sayeeda Hameed, member planning commission

• Mr. Gagan Sethi, Trustee DRISHTI

• Mr. Paulo Memfalopulous

Mrs. Alka gave a brief overview of the entire conference including the group activities that were

conducted. Mr. Gagan Sethi gave a brief introduction and welcomed Mrs. Sayeeda Hameed to

LOK-SAMVAD.

Groups were then requested to share their presentation:

Group 1 – Education

Group 2 – Health & Nutrition

Group 3 – Local Governance & development

(Final Power point presentation is attached as zip.file)



15

Some Suggestions which surfaced from the discussions:

• Community mobilization is the only sustainable solution to create wide spread sensitization.

• Implementation is the faulty stage, for e.g. the NRHM scheme initially had a community

participation norm, which was somehow lost in due course of time.

• IEC materials should not be prepared from a top‐down approach, but rather should also

involve participation of the community it is being prepared for.

• Organizations should focus on community mobilization and transfer of skill should be their

foremost goal.

• Government and INGO’s should focus on investing in communication research which

ultimately leads to better results not only in uplifting the health standards but numerous

other socio

‐economic

issues.

• A thorough research of the existing communication and media strategies needs to be

conducted.

• Resource mapping has to be conducted at all levels – grassroot, mid and state level.

The discussion was concluded with Mr. Memfalopulous stating that a large scale proliferation is

needed for value‐based ethics, along with Mrs. Sayeeda Hameed adding just a few points, which are

given below:

• It is appalling to see that majority of the population is not even aware that there are so

many schemes

that

have

been

prepared

by

the

Government

for

the

people’s

well

being,

this

was most apparent to her in North East India, where she was visiting. She reiterated the

importance of participatory communication vis a vis community media being the perfect

platform for such sensitization and advocacy.

• She also stressed on the importance of having a feedback mechanism, saying that they

seldom get to hear the needs of and from the people directly and thus some schemes

prepared are not successful as they are not tuned to the communities’ requirement.

• Transferring of skills, idea is the first step to the success of participatory communication.

Mr.

Gagan

Sethi

pushed

Sayeeda

Hameed

to

support

the

efforts

of

participatory

communication

vis

a vis community media in India in order to make development processes more transparent and

holistic.

The conference was concluded with a vote of thanks by Debarun Dutta, DRISHTI.



16

OUTPUT:

The main objectives as against what was achieved at the conference, is given below:

• To have a shared understanding of participatory communication, role and needs, its ethos,

working principles,

strategies

and

perceived

impacts

on

development

agendas

LOK-SAMVAD has been able to stir up this understanding, especially through the

group work which was conducted, which got together different experts from varied field

of work to share with each other their experiences their learnings and challenges

especially in the light of millennium development goals.

• Identify areas within government and NGO programmes where participatory communication

have a role to play

This objective went beyond Government and NGOs and stretched out to INGOs as well,

UNICEF being

a strong

supporter

of

this

movement

have

expressed

their

interest

and

extended their support to keep this rhythm alive and spread out.

• Recommend immediate actions from the Government agencies for implementing the

strategic plans using participatory communication in demonstration sites.

Even though the state representation from the Government was bleak, there were

actions and recommendation which were shared with Mrs Sayeeda Hameed, who gave

her acceptance and extended her support to the cause of participatory communication

vis a vis community media in India.

WAY FORWARD:

The way forward which was jointly decided upon are given below

• To have similar regional conference cum workshops at regular intervals, to keep ourselves as

well state government and International non government organizations abreast about the

new developments, impacts, challenges of using participatory communication vis a vis

community media.

• To be well connected in order to share ideas, knowledge and learnings

• Follow up and approach with state level Government who have IEC campaigns to help them

in

advocacy

and

sensitization.

• Eventually have a policy level intervention at the central level, where use of participatory

communication is included in the policies of not only advocacy and campaigns but all

development processes as well to make it more holistic and people friendly.
