PUKAR congratulates the 15th cohort of its Barefoot Researchers (BRs) for successfully completing one year diploma course in ‘Community Based Participatory Research and Advocacy’. The journey began one year ago with the search of self, social realities and issues with communities they hail from. Now they have become Changemakers ready to explore the community issues and find the solutions for those problems. The course is accredited by Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS). This accreditation will help them to increase their employability prospects.
Total nine groups completed their journey as a researcher and presented their research findings in the Graduation Ceremony on July 25, 2020 to 287 people. This year’s event was a bit challenging as we had to conduct the ceremony online due to Covid-19 pandemic. It was our first experience along with the BRs to manage such a big event online. PUKAR is proud to share that the BRs presented their works very well on this new platform.
For PUKAR, it’s not an end but it’s a beginning of a new journey on a new platform of Digital Medium with the next cohort of Changemakers. PUKAR wishes the BRs every success in life and hopes that they will pass the torch to other youth making ‘The Movement of Barefoot Researchers’ stronger.
PUKAR is thankful to all the people who attended the event and for their encouraging words for the BRs.
