  • Tentative:

    It deserves to be specially noted , with an appreciative nod, that the concept chosen for an analytical study and deliberation among the invitee-experts is simply- 'governance'; not with the usually prefixed yet another insurmountable concept namely, -'good'.

    Merits an 'appreciative nod' is because, from a pragmatic viewpoint,what could be ideally expected, and at best hope to be achieved, if not ideologically,is, – 'governance'.

    One thinks that, once the primary obstacles (predominant being so called, corrupt mindset and praqctices, are, as far as feasible clearly identified, and sincerely /whole heartedly taken on,and pursued to the end of accomplishing the ultimate goal of 'governance', everything else could, as one imagines, be expected to follow / fall in place.

    Pathetically, despite all talks and efforts towards that end until now, seem to have failed to even take off; the simple reason is that there is hardly any governance – not only in the corporate sector, but also in the national arena, supposed to be the venue for the overall governance of the entire nation.

    (left unedited- and open for law and other experts expected to partake in the announced project)

  • Rider (missing clue):

    As the sage old saying, with in-depth wisdom, goes- charity begins (must begin!)at 'home'.

    Naturally,likewise,any desire and motivation (attempt)to reset own 'mind', for the good of the rest, must necessarily begin only at 'individual'. That is possible through the unique and invisible exercise known as 'introspection'- howsoever difficult that may seem, to begin with.
