Dear Langcom Members,
As of Hindi points of view the content which already
have are very usefull. There are no site on internet which provide this
type of information. We already made well written content like Principals
of Management and Aerospace Engineering etc. Where the content is much
better than English Wikiversity. Because where we describe whats do student
after 10+2. You can verify it with third party source. The partialy failure
of Eng Wikiversity is that because the many sites host learning content in
english. But Hindi Wikiversity will be the only place where native get free
knowledge in thier language. I am not say you believe me. You can confirm
it with third party.
With the respect of time. Hindi Wikiversity will be milestone. Thanks
