South Asian Journal of Socio-Political StudiesSummary: Participatory process is a powerful tool for social transformation, recalibrating power dynamics through civil society engagements. Effective participation ensues when empowerment is directed towards fostering collective cooperation with implementing agencies, amplifying community influence in decision-making, monitoring, and evaluation. However, the effectiveness of universal participation is debated, with critics questioning its ability to achieve desired outcomes. International organizations emphasize that participation must be adapted to socio-economic and cultural contexts, as countries varying in landscapes and benefit from different concomitant participatory models. Oorukoottam, a tribal council in Kerala, exemplifies participatory development, playing a key role in identifying beneficiaries and shaping and implementing social protection schemes. While Oorukoottam has significantly contributed to tribal rights, community engagement and education, it faces challenges in areas such as government aids and schemes adapted to the modern lifestyles. Addressing these gaps could enhance Oorukoottam’s effectiveness within the Paniya and Kurichiya communities of Wayanad district.- Reproduced
