India has a large, vibrant community of development professionals working to improve the lives of its citizens. They are bureaucrats, philanthropists, activists, companies, academia, students, religious leaders, journalists, your neighbourhood do gooder... the list goes on. Despite our many problems, there has never been as much interest or as many players invested in India’s ‘development’ project as there are today. And every day seems to bring a new idea to the table.

We, the hosts, have been ‘In the Field’ throughout our careers. While ‘the field’ is a term most commonly associated with the site of social work, it’s also the field of our work, the domain of social work. We know that some of the best ideas, projects and initiatives in the development sector are shared in closed rooms - through conversations that are not public and happen within small circles of practitioners, experts, and communities working their way through a problem. We want to bring these stories out into the light.

‘In the Field’ takes listeners through different approaches to making a difference, showing how even the most complex development problems can be taken out of expert and practitioner spaces, to become part of a wider set of actions that implicate us all.
