Bridging the Global Language Culture through Information Technology !!!

‘A Journey of Thousand Miles Starts with a Single Step’…Mr. Sunil Khandbahale is the living example who has given the true meaning to this proverb. Twelve years back, Mr. Sunil started this Project as a remedy to his own problems. A boy of Mahiravani village when felt that “language” was the hurdle in his way to completion of goal, his schooling was in Marathi medium, because of which he faced a lot of trouble coping with English during higher studies. He decided to use dictionary in his life and find the way out and tackle the problems. Using this he tackled almost hindrances of his life. However, he took it as an opportunity to learn and invent methodologies to learn a new language. It worked for him! So he thought, why not for others? He went on exploring the possibilities and shared these with other people. He says, “I don’t know exactly how and when but now the whole world took notice of my small efforts. I feel very good about it”.  His opinion was that there are many more students like me for whom “language fear” is the factor to stop them from achieving success in life. So he decided to make the “e-dictionary”, so that at any point of life if anyone gets stuck up with meaning of any word, that person can easily get through it using my “e-dictionary”.
