People First Talk with Anshu Gupta: Dignity, Community Agency, and Local Change
November 18, 2026
Estimated time commitment: 60 minutes
What changes when people are trusted to define their priorities and act on them?
Join the People First Community on November 18th at 10:00am ET for a conversation with Anshu Gupta, founder of Goonj and Gram Swabhimaan. For more than 25 years, Anshu has worked with communities across India to recognize and develop local leadership, agency, and dignity as resources for change.
Drawing on Goonj’s Cloth for Work approach and Gram Swabhimaan, we will explore how communities organize around their own priorities, what helps people develop a stronger sense of agency, and how we can support their leadership development as a path to change in systems.
