PROF. L.P. VIDYARTHI's VISION FOR ANTHROPOLOGY
The discipline of Anthropology has been enriched by the contributions of numerous scholars worldwide. In the Indian context, one name that stands out prominently is that of LP Vidyarthi. Prof. Vidyarthi’s contributions, groundbreaking work and dedication to the field have left an indelible mark on Indian anthropology.
Prof. Vidyarthi’s legacy endures through the lasting impact of his work and the scholars he mentored. His contributions extended beyond the realm of academic research; he actively shaped the evolution of anthropological thought in India. Characterized by clarity and scholarly rigor, his writings influenced subsequent generations of anthropologists.
Beyond individual research, Prof. Vidyarthi played a pivotal role in shaping institutional frameworks for anthropology in India. He actively participated in establishing academic departments and research centers dedicated to anthropology, fostering a conducive environment for the discipline’s growth and its inclusion as optional subject in Civil service examination.
Prof. vigorously advocated for application of Anthropological knowledge and applied techniques, in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of development projects. This, he believed, will ensure that development is culturally appropriate and addresses the actual underlying needs of the community. Dr Vidyarthi emphasised that India being a country of diversified culture , introducing Anthropology and exposure to the concept of cultural Relativism in school curriculum will fosters empathy and cultural sensitivity among young citizens . In effect appreciation of other culture and practices will lead to social and national integration
