Few Frames from #Kaarnamay: Main Character Karyakartas - an evening dedicated to grassroots workers.

[Charkha Features @CharkhaFeatures]

A glimpse of two days at #Hamkaar, where 28 grassroots karyakartas from across Rajasthan came together to learn from each other.

Through conversations, games, and difficult questions, we learnt, unlearnt and reminded ourselves that knowledge grows stronger when it's shared.

Meet Swati Bhatt and Agyatmitra from @playforpeaceorg —the facilitators leading this year's #Hamkaar.

For over 25 years, they've used play, dialogue, and experiential learning to build trust, create safe spaces, and strengthen leadership across communities.

These karyakartas bring stories, fresh perspectives, difficult questions, and the kind of energy that keeps conversations alive long after the session ends.

Now they're coming together to learn from one another and exchange ideas and debate over chai! ☕️

Development work is often measured in numbers and impact. But behind every milestone is hope—hope that things can change, that communities can have better opportunities, and that tomorrow can look different despite inequality and setbacks.

Development conversations have long centred researchers, policymakers & leaders. But those holding together the last mile of development have rarely held the mic. Where are the main characters?

Behind every scheme that reached someone, every right understood, and every community that came together, there is often a #grassroots worker at the center of the story.

This July 4th, Charkha shares the journeys of twelve Karyakartas.
