The role of non state actors in ensuring Indigenous right to education in na era of neoliberalism: an experiential account from India

Neo liberalism under globalisation makes an all-around attack against state intervention and promotes privatisation. Contrary to it, rising consciousness for inclusion and protection of human rights demands ensuring opportunities to all by increasing access, equality and quality. Education is a basic human right. But inclusive education in India is still a myth. Odisha , a constituent state of Indian federalism and housing 62 tribes has witnessed its limitations in universalising education at a micro level, particularly in the interior physically delinked tribal areas. Under such a situation, the non state actors have come forward to substitute and to supplement the state action. The present paper by adopting an exploratory design and resorting to qualitative method has tried to document the empirical experiences gained from the field on the effective innovations launched by a CSO. The objective of the paper is to indicate the efficacy of non state actors through CSO induced innovations experimented in the sample schools under empirical study, its adaptation by the local milieu and impact on the indigenous right to education. The paper concludes that the non state actors have come up in a great way to fill up the vacuum created by the withdrawal of state and are going to play a significant role in the governance of the flagship programmes and giving a fillip to the constitutional mandates.O neoliberalismo no contexto da globalização ataca de todas as formas a intervenção estatal e a privatização. Contrário a isso, o aumento da consciência para a inclusão e proteção dos direitos humanos demanda o asseguramento de oportunidades a todos, aumentando o acesso, a equidade e a qualidade. Educação é um direito humano básico. Mas a educação inclusiva na Índia ainda é um mito. Odisha, um estado constituinte do Federalismo Indiano que abriga 62 tribos testemunhou sua limitação em universalizar a educação a um nível micro, particularmente no interior de áreas fisicamente desvinculadas tribais. Abaixo de tamanha situação, os atores do não-estado vieram adiante a substituir e suplementar a ação do Estado. O artigo apresentado, por adotar um design exploratório e recorrer ao método qualitativo, tentou documentar as experiências empíricas obtidas no campo nas inovações efetivas lançadas por um CSO. O objetivo desse artigo é indicar a eficácia de atores não-estatais por inovações induzidas experimentadas nas escolas sob estudo empírico, sua adaptação pelo meio local e seu impacto no direito à educação dos indígenas. O artigo conclui que atores não-estatais vieram com uma ótima maneira de preencher o vácuo criado pela retirada do estado e irão representar papéis significativos na governança de programas principais e darão um impulso aos mandatos constitNeo liberalism under globalisation makes an all-around attack against state intervention and promotes privatisation.

A comparative assessment of climate change related knowledge and perception of Coastal and Tribal community

Climate change is a global problem with local ramifications. It supposed to impact all nations and states across borders. But the way it is perceived by different stakeholders varies. Perception towards climate change matters because it will shape the way knowledge is framed and risk is calculated. It is also important to examine the knowledge of those people who are affected the most due to climate change. The present paper tries to understand the perception of farmers on climate change. As agriculture is one of the most climate sensitive sectors, it becomes pertinent here to explore are the farmers aware about climatic changes or not. The study has taken two different communities, i.e. tribal and coastal community and tries to find the difference in their perception. It was found that even though the literacy rate is low but majority of the members are well aware about climate change and its different indicators
