The book develops a power-asymmetry-based framework and argues that a champion with the right attributes and the 'ability’ to 'convene' people over a social issue can only succeed if he/she can resolve or reduce the deep-rooted societal power asymmetries within that community. It also presents four case studies that indicate how such social change is typically spread over a long period of time Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 Literature Review and Experiential Observations -- Chapter 3 Ex-ante Framework & Research Questions -- Chapter 4 Research Methodology, Design and Methods -- Chapter 5 Emerging Framework & Model -- Chapter 6 Description and Analyses of the Cases -- Case I: The Thaku Ma of Tambakhuri - Bharati Kabi -- Case II: Total sanitation success of Bahalpur - Kumari Sahoo -- Case III : Aparajita, the architect of child rights at Bolaniposi -- Case IV: Bastina banishes alcoholism from Dasingbadi -- Chapter 7 Summary and Conclusions and significance of study -- Chapter 8 Limitations of the study and Future research |
