    Grassroot participation in sustainability programmes and policies

    “Leaving no one behind” is a commitment of Sustainable Development Goals 2030. However, the planning and implementation of National and State level plans and policies often oversee on-ground conditions and are perceived differently across different groups of communities. Grassroot organizations can act as a bridge between planners and the communities, to ensure equitable service delivery and leverage community led actions. Trisanki and Mayuri speak to Enakshi Dutta about grassroot level participation in sustainability programmes, projects and policies. Enakshi supports organizations and social entrepreneurs to develop, sustain and promote peoples issues and mobilize resources for the development of the north eastern region of India. She is currently the director of Institute of Development Action (IDeA), an organisation which supports & organises the efforts of civil society to hasten the pace of development in the Northeast Region.

    Arsenic contamination and ways to mitigate

    Water is essential for human life but millions in India do not have access to safe drinking water. One of the contaminants of groundwater is Arsenic, a metalloid naturally present in Earth’s crust. Some regions have much higher arsenic concentrations than others due to geological and anthropogenic activities, and this can be problematic. A 2011 survey found 17 districts in Assam with arsenic contamination. Titabor subdivision, comprising 20 gaon panchayats, was the most affected. In this episode we speak to Prithvi Ram, a researcher working on critical issues related to water resources management in south Asia in general and arsenic contamination in Titabor in particular.
