“…With respect to the field action project of TISS with the Kheria Sabar community, it may be noted that these are demonstration projects to pioneer initiatives in the field by working with marginalised sections of the community and identifying services that can be built into policy through long-term intervention. They highlight the role that higher educational institutions can play in engaging with marginalised communities from a constructivist viewpoint that strives for a phenomenological understanding of social phenomena (Dave et al, 2012). By their very nature, the ethical aspects of intervention are woven into these projects as they are aimed not to extract data from participants but to work with them over a period of time in attempting jointly to improve their lives at field and policy levels.…”

Southern penal spaces are marked by resemblances and affinities with colonial regimes of control, yet they also reflect quite distinctive postcolonial social and political dynamics found in the global south. Here, legacies of control, forms of exile, status reductions, hierarchical social stratifications and other like forms come together in robust modes of containment suitable for managing ‘marginal’ and ‘suspect’ populations. We draw on ethnographic empirical work with two hunting nomadic groups in India by two of the co-authors who are working with the Kheria Sabar community in Purulia district in West Bengal and Pardhi community in Mumbai. The latter were subject to notification under the notorious Criminal Tribes Act 1871, marking them out as ‘criminal tribes’ until their de-notification shortly after India's independence in 1947, yet the Kheria Sabars too feel its effects. We draw attention here to the continual negotiation and (re)fabrication of both state and citizen at the point of their everyday contact. Our notion of southern penal spaces contributes to penal theory by breaking from northern societies’ focus on institutional carcerality and capturing instead both the variety and the dispersal of penal and punitive practices found in postcolonial societies of the south.

“…While positive human interactions can be beneficial, negative relationships pose significant risks to individual and community well-being (Chahal, 2022). We can cultivate a supportive and harmonious social fabric that improves the overall quality of life for individuals and strengthens community bonds by recognizing the potential consequences of negative interactions and taking proactive measures to foster positive relationships (Bhatt, 2015;Dave et al, 2012;Hartlep et al, 2017). This situation is further exacerbated by the phenomenon of bullying that occurs in Islamic boarding schools.…”

Abstact: This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic boarding school residents in preventing bullying behaviour among students in integrated boarding schools in the city of Lhokseumawe. This research adopts a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach. Data collection techniques are carried out through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research informants consist of the Islamic boarding school leaders and caregiving staff. Data validity is ensured through source verification techniques. Data analysis is conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Bullying behaviour in Dayah Terpadu Ulumuddin and Pesantren Misbahul Ulum Integrated Boarding Schools is prevented by the boarding schools’ authorities through measures such as reprimanding, advising, punishment, and involving parents. However, the psychological approach has not been fully implemented due to the lack of counselling teachers in the boarding school. The boarding schools’ authorities provide guidance and advice to bullying victims. Some bullying behaviours are considered normal among the students, such as teasing and using nicknames. This behaviour will receive less attention from the boarding school authorities. However, if the bullying involves physical violence, the victim will receive special attention. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran warga pesantren dalam pencegahan perilaku bulliying pada santri di pesantren terpadu Kota Lhokseumawe. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi partisipan, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Informan penelitian ini terdiri dari pimpinan dayah, bidang pengasuhan. Pemeriksaaan keabsahan data dilakukan dengan teknik pemeriksaan melalui sumber. Teknik analisis data dilakukan dengan cara reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Perilaku bullying di Dayah Terpadu Ulumuddin dan Misbahul Ulum dicegah oleh pihak dayah terhadap pelaku bullying, yaitu memberikan teguran, nasihat, hukuman, dan pemanggilan orang tua, sedangkan pendekatan psikologis belum dilaksanakan secara maksimal karena belum tersedianya guru bimbingan konseling di dayah. Tindakan pihak dayah terhadap korban bullying berupa pembinaan dan pemberian nasihat. Perilaku bullying yang dianggap wajar terjadi, seperti mengejek dan memanggil dengan nama julukan kurang mendapat perhatian dari pihak dayah. Akan tetapi, jika bullying yang bersifat fisik seperti pemukulan, korban akan mendapat perhatian khusus.

“…These FAPs of the institute are implemented to model integration of theory to practice and vice versa, which is the core of social work education and practice. They have demonstrated innovative and theory-based interventions in different focus areas, responded to the needs and emerging societal challenges, encouraged peer learning among the students, empowered vulnerable sections, and ensured socially and culturally competent interventions (Andharia, 2011; Dave et al, 2012). Pragati—IRHDP works with the tribal population in the Thane district of Maharashtra.…”

This article focuses on Pragati—A Field Action Project of the Centre for Health and Mental Health, School of Social Work, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, India, and critically examines the project’s development. The project is uniquely positioned because it is one of the first community health models in India that social work professionals started. The article discusses the project’s work over the last three decades and argues for theory-based interventions focusing on rights-based and people-centred approaches. The article highlights the role of social work in health, the project’s strategies, successes, failures, lessons learned and the importance of an intervention-based people-centred model.
