Arbor India was established in 2005 as the first Panikkarian experiment that involved the integration of economics and solidarity, and inter/intra religious dialogue between the populations of Andhra Pradesh, a vast region in the south of the Asian continent.

Arbor supports and manages development projects in the Southern hemisphere, along with its partners and collaborators. The is also involved in social protection programs and support for vulnerable groups in Italy.

Arbor strongly supports the deeply meaningful and transformative nature of culture, new ideas that fertilize and transform, and “the spirit of the word”. This represents the vision of the man who recovered the hope-principle that has been lost by many today, due to hardship, crisis, nihilism, and interiority, which is synonymous with depth and not intimacy.

The Arbor cooperates structurally with the departments of Economics and Culture, Politics and Society at the University of Turin, for the production and maintenance of the “Ethics and Economics” and “Ethical Finance and Microcredit” courses. The collaboration between the and the University occurs through many activities.
