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.

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).

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

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.

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.
