FAIR

FOUNDATION TO AID INDUSTRIAL RECOVERY

FAIR is a not-for-profit society, registered in 1978 with the objective of bringing together practicing managers and management teachers to help under-managed sectors in the economy. These sectors include sick industries, the unorganized or informal as well as social sector organizations with under-performing or non-performing assets. The provision of managerial practices and knowledge to these sectors of the economy was imparted with the ultimate objective that it would be for the benefit of society at large and the less fortunate within our society in particular.
