ACTION Aid’s Praxis Institute for Participatory Practices was designed to specialize in participatory rural appraisal, a catchphrase that propagated the idea that development must be bottom-up and participatory.
From the very beginning, conceptualizing the vision of Praxis was a young man who had just completed his master’s in rural management from the Indian Institute of Rural Management, Anand, Gujarat in 1997. That young man was Anindo Banerjee.
Over the next two and a half decades, Anindo dedicated himself to the cause of social justice, equity and accountable governance through the use of participatory approaches. Even today, many identify him with Praxis and Praxis with him. The organization’s vision of a world without poverty in which every person has the right to participate in decision-making and live a life of dignity and choices was the vision of its founding members.
