Friends, I would like to share annual report of an International Educator site study guides and strategies <http://www.studygs.net/>with you. You migh know that PRAGYAN works in colaboration with this site. We are translating contents here in ASSAMESE AND BENGALI. The Moderator of this site Joe Landsberger is an Educator of international rapport.You will find he has mentioned Pragyan's work here . We would request you to share this site with your friends and kids. So that they can be benefited from this site and get motivated to keep bookmarked. Increasing visitors for ASSAMESE, BENGALI & HINDI ( though not done by us) is our additional interest either.
