NEW DELHI - Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) Alliance for Re-Imagining School Education (FICCI ARISE) launched its partnership with Nexus of Good with a conference on the theme 'Creating a Nexus of Good for Education', according to the Federation.
Speaking at the event at FICCI, Mr Anil Swarup, Former Secretary, Department of Education & Founder, Nexus of Good, said that Nexus of Good is a movement to locate, understand, appreciate, replicate and scale good work.
"The idea is to create an alternative narrative to the all-pervasive negativity so that people believe that good can happen because it is happening. I appreciate FICCI ARISE for joining in the movement and commend their exemplary leadership in supporting and strengthening the efforts taken in the education space to chart the way forward. I believe our association will go a long way in expanding the frontiers of education and driving transformation in the country," Mr Swarup said.
Mr. Naga Prasad Tummala, Chairman, FICCI ARISE & Chairman, People Combine Initiatives, said, "We are tired of listening to negative news. The need of the hour is motivating case studies and inspiring personalities. Nexus of Good, in a very short period, has emerged as an oasis of high spirit.
"I congratulate Mr Swarup for conceptualizing and putting all his energies to make it a formidable force. I am very happy for associating with it. FICCI ARISE and Nexus of Good coming together is a landmark development," said Mr Tummala.
