"Isaac’s great advantage is his knowledge of the intimate workings of the plan, its difficulties and drawbacks, the unfounded hostilities and the frailties of the future ahead."
– Indian Review of Books
"The authors of the volume deserve special thanks for providing a detailed account of a pioneering and successful organisation that needs to be replicated in large numbers."
– C.T. Kurien, Frontline

People's Planning: Kerala, Local Democracy and Development 
AUGUST 7 | 7:30PM IST/10AM EDT

In 1996, the state of Kerala launched possibly the world’s most extensive and successful experiment in decentralization. The campaign mobilized over 3 million of Kerala’s 30 million people and resulted in bottom-up development planning in all of its 1,052 villages and urban neighbourhoods.  Join 1804 Books and LeftWord Books for a discussion on the recent publication.

Call for Artists from LeftWord Books
In the recent years, India has witnessed hundreds of thousands of student protestors braving all odds to hit the streets – from Himachal Pradesh to Kerala and from Pune to Assam.
Since 2014 in particular, the attack on students and higher education has been relentless. However, students and teachers continue to put up sustained resistance against the assault by Hindutva and neoliberalism on higher education.
The book Students Won’t Be Quiet, soon to be published by LeftWord Books, documents some of these truly inspirational and historic struggles of our time.
This regime has been at war with its students.
We call upon you to imagine the cover of this book.
All proposals will be a part of a virtual exhibition to commemorate 85 years of glorious students’ struggle in India. One of the entries will become the cover of the book.
Send entries with contact details to winniesgv@gmail.com.
Last date for submission: 10 August 2021.
