#BrickbyBrick #DemocratisingLocalGovernanceKerala #USIEF Brick by Brick Democratising Local Governance in Kerala. As part of a series of events celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Fulbright program, the United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF) in collaboration with the U.S. Consulate General Chennai has organised a virtual talk on the book “Brick by Brick: Democratising Local Governance” authored by Prof. Majula Bharathy, Fulbright-Nehru Scholar (2018-19). The book was released by the Hon. Chief Minister of the Government of Kerala, Mr. Pinari Vijayan earlier this August at the event to mark the 25 years of decentralised planning in Kerala. The book analyses two critical components of the People's Planning Campaign (PPC) - the Women Component Plan (WCP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP). Through detailed examination of the process of mobilisation, conscientisation, and citizenship targeting these groups, the book assesses the possibilities and limitations of the planning process devised to politicise and redress the grievances of the dispossessed. In doing so, the analysis contrast the depth of participation, the nature and quality of deliberative processes and the substantive outcomes of participation for these two marginalised groups along with a detailed analysis of the reasons for the ineffective media strategies of the PPC and their dysfunctional interventions that failed in countering the hegemonic social and political power structures.
