In India CollegeKhabar.com is browsed from nearly all major cities. Please refer attached map for reference as mentioning names of all cities is not possible. Areas with bigger circle have more visits than others.

Disclaimer: Map is not a true picture of National Geographical Area (Distorted) of India. (If you want to sue anyone for this mischief, sue Google as we are just using their service: Google Analytics – most comprehensive tool to analyse visitors – Our ” helplessness” )
Future Plans:
Any venture requires at least working capital to remain engaged. Currently we are able to generate revenue to take care of operating expenses which excludes hosting, designing and payment part. We are not looking on bottom lines but definitely focusing on expansion, increase in reach and improved services. We are working for better visitor experience, convenience in surfing the website as well as searching desired content and few surprises!
Future plan also includes extension of services offline. Primarily this will have partnerships with small institutions and colleges to collaborate for mutual benefits (details can’t be disclosed because of obvious reasons).

With our current growth potential we expect an organic growth with a truly outstanding and committed group of people working for CollegeKhabar.com. We like to thank you for your continued support. Together, we look forward to doing our very best for you every day, everywhere and in every way.
