Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your interest in the LIS Links Coaching Centre. We hope that your association with us will be a rewarding experience for you. We already have students from 13 states of India and it is continuously growing.
LIS Links brings all subject based information from the total output of a nation for searching and browsing with many alternatives to submit the content to the sites (SMS/ blog /group /forum /events /encyclopedia /link library /photo /video) as well as to subscribe to it (SMS/Email/RSS and others). The members of the community can email/scrap each other with lots of other features. Thus it is a pioneering service model for the world to follow. It is the first such kind of service model in the world. The initiative made elsewhere seems to follow its lead. Really great work and great thinking..’
