Lal Sakhi’s contributions to sustainable development: Genesis, innovation and vision

Manohar Pawar; Preeti  Jangra; Birjees  Zahera

Abstract

This article aims to discuss Lal Sakhi’s, (a nongovernment organisation in India), contribution to sustainable development and its innovative approaches to empower women, and how it faces challenges in that process. Drawing on the narratives of the Lal Sakhi founder and the secondary data, it discusses the origin of the organisation and motivations and vision of the founder. The analysis suggests that in a short period, Lal Sakhi has contributed to sustainable development by reducing the consumption of plastic and by enhancing hygienic practices by women. It directly contributes to achieving the sustainable development goals relating to health, hygiene, and environment. The founder’s ‘Change Agents Movement’ is gradually growing, impacting the lives of thousands of women and girls. While appreciating the innovative and critical approaches of the organisation, it looks at some of the challenges and the potential for scaling up. In view of its programs, activities and creative approaches, and impact, we argue that the story of Lal Sakhi is infectiously inspiring. Thus, we call people from all walks of life to contribute to this noble cause.

Other	The Ninth ICSD Asia Pacific Biennial conference provides an opportunity to researchers, practitioners and policy makers to reflect on the role of stakeholders of development like community-based organizations, nongovernment organizations, private sector, and the government in navigating through the turbulent times Asian societies are facing. While the focus of this conference is on Asia, these problems are shared by economies beyond Asia. Hence, we invite researchers from across the globe to present their research. The hosts invite researchers – both seasoned and early career including graduate students and practitioners to submit the paper to showcase their research in different themes. We are very keen to see a wide range of papers that encompass applied research, practice research, and theoretical advances and innovative explorations in all aspects of this field.
