🎯OUR MISSION:  '' To make you Atamnirbhar"💪

Dear Students, we hope you are doing your self-studies very well during this Covid-19 era. We know there is lot of confusion and anxiety about exams and further studies. But be calm and composed, everything will be alright soon. Just focus on your studies and strive to accomplish your dreams.  

Like every other student, you must also be searching on internet about:-

•  "Most important Questions/Answers for English Core Class-12th 

• "Important MCQs & Extract of falana chapter of English Core 12th"

                 and blah blah blah 👀

But, have you ever noticed that the content that you get on different website is more or less similar or sometimes even FULL COPY-PASTE. (कॉपी पेस्ट वाले  Content Creators)💩

And, you keep on visiting to those so called 'educational website' and WASTE YOUR TIME😕 that you could positively use in reading a chapter & practice mcqs or qus\ans.

Seeing all this, I felt very angry on those who are fooling students without any RELEVANT CONTENT📖 without any knowledge of CBSE's GUIDLINES & VISION of NEW EDUCATION POLICY -2020. 💥

Therefore, I have created this content with all my experience of 7 years of teaching English to CBSE Students with AUTHENTIC Books, and my own insights. 🙏
