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.

By retracing Francis Buchanan’s Journey of 1800-01 through parts of southern India, this major initiative by FAIR explores the historical dimension of development, in the broadest sense of the term. From comparisons in living standards to levels of agricultural productivity, from disruptions in technology to continuity in occupations, this on-going exploration puts together different facet of development using Buchanan’s Journey as a route map and a source of knowledge and information at the end of India’s pre-colonial era.
