About the Book
The central theme of the book as the title describes is "Pursuit of Goodness". Almost all of us, at a point in time in our lives, want to work for the betterment of the underprivileged. A few of us end up making a contribution and a handful dedicates their entire lives to the cause. This book is about real life accounts of seven initiatives striving to change the world for better. These organizations are not very big or established since a long time but are run by spirited Social Entrepreneurs. This book aims to give an insight into their inspiration, struggle and their "pursuit for goodness".
These are tales of generosity, courage and passion depicting the commitment of the motivated spirits behind each initiative. This book has the potential to be used for academic institutions as case studies. It is a good read for the development sector as well.
