Globally and locally, a lot of discussions is taking place to unearth the solution to society’s problems. Whereas many countries have think tanks in place to carry out such discussion, Pakistan, unfortunately, lags behind in this field. The formation of a global board of advisors is a major step in creating a think tank that will guide Nutshell Conferences to host national and global summits on the most pertinent regional and international issues.
