GDPD Handbook

This podcast draws from two years of PRADAN’s engagement in Gram Panchayat Development Planning (GPDP) across 1,700 Gram Panchayats in seven states. It captures the lived experiences of our teams on the ground, the strategies they adopted, the challenges they faced, the practices that worked, and the lessons that emerged. The reflections are structured thematically, offering listeners clarity and consistency as we walk through different dimensions of the GPDP process. More than just documentation, this podcast is a resource and a guide for practitioners, and institutions seeking to strengthen grassroots planning and make democratic governance more participatory and equitable.
