The People's Archive of Rural India (PARI /ˈpɑːri/) is a multimedia digital journalism platform in India. It was founded in December 2014 by veteran journalist Palagummi Sainath, former rural affairs editor of The Hindu, author of the book Everybody Loves a Good Drought and winner of over 50 national and international awards,[citation needed] including the Statesman Award for Rural Reporting (1994), the Prem Bhatia Memorial Prize (2004),[1] the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Award (2009),[2] the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization's Boerma Prize (2000), the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Journalism, Literature and Creative Communications Arts (2007),[3] and the World Media Summit Global Award for Excellence 2014, in Public Welfare reporting.[4]
PARI focuses on rural journalism[5] and publishes stories, videos and photo stories in numerous categories, including, Farming and its Crisis, Adivasis, Dalits, Women, Healthcare, The Rural in the Urban and Resource Conflicts.[6] It showcases the occupational, linguistic and cultural diversity of India, and aims to publish stories with detail and authenticity, which provide readers, listeners and viewers with a context to derive information and knowledge from.[7]
PARI stories are usually translated into various Indian languages[8] by a team of translators and translation editors across India, most of them volunteers. PARI regularly publishes in 10 languages besides the default English.
Additionally, PARI hosts a free online Library[9] with a growing collection of reports, surveys and other material relevant to understanding and contextualising rural India. And the site attempts to map the facial diversity across India through its unique FACES[10] section.[self-published source?]
N. Ram, former editor-in-chief and publisher of The Hindu referred to PARI as "…one of the brightest spots of public-spirited journalism” at the Lawrence Dana Pinkham Memorial Lecture on May 3, 2016.[11]
