Historical Exploration of Development

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.

EDUCATIONAL VIDEO INITIATIVE

EVI is an extension of FAIR’s core objective of disseminating knowledge and awareness related to activities in the social sector. It has been launched under the direction of Dr. Sashi Sivramkrishna and Dr. Preeta Nath who have brought together their strong academic background and research in economics, history, sociology and environmental issues with an understanding of the importance of images in reaching wider audiences.

200 Years Later

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.

Macroeconomic Analysis & Policy Studies

The Great Recession of 2008 fundamentally altered the world economy. After more than a decade, countries across the world continue to struggle against sluggish growth and high rates of unemployment. Drawing from Post-Keynesian economic theory and Modern Money Theory (MMT) in particular, MAPS conducts macroeconomic country studies to better understand the role of governments in macroeconomic management to achieve full employment with financial stability.

Indigo

THE INDIGO FACTORY is a journey through the rich tapestry of indigo-making and subsequent processing into fabric, layered with India’s colonial history that transformed an artisanal occupation into mass production in factories. This project is an homage to the legacy of indigo, a dye that has colored our world in shades of deep blue for centuries.

Research Study Projects

FAIR carries out Research Study Projects on industry, technology and development issues both from a historical and contemporary point of view.
