About Nexus of Good Foundation (https://nexusofgood.org.in/)
In today's day and age, information is power. We are also getting bombarded by the volume of information. Anil Swarup, former secretary of the government of India and author believes that we all inherently know what is “good”. Yet we allow the “din of the devil” to drown the “good". This brought the inception of Nexus of Good movement. Good should come together and speak up to prevent evil from flourishing. Join the #nexusofgood movement by identifying, appreciating, propagating and replicating good work. Sharing a positive story every time one sees something good will take the movement ahead. Goodness should not go unnoticed is the goal of the movement.
