Friend-in-Need Trust (FINT) seeks to
motivate, support, facilitate, monitor and evaluate the
introduction of innovations in the form of new
structures, new technology, new management routines and
new social norms, to attain environmental and
socio-economic security in the marginalized zones of
India.
FINT was created by
Mrs. (Dr.) Shyama
V. Ramani, an Indian economist based in France. Each
action is supported by an academic study involving
students and members of the academic community.
FINT is supported by families in France and India, as
well as by Indians all over the world. |
