It is to be noted that every year more than 5 lakh people migrate to foreign lands with the hope of work and higher standards of living. And about 24,000 students leave for different parts of the world. Besides, there are about 75 lakh expatriates all over the world. In this whole process of traveling abroad, through various relatives, friends, social media or agents, the necessary information helps us and again creates a lot of embarrassment and brings loss! It is also a difficult task to verify the real information in the multitude of digital media. “Probashi” app will continue to do this hard work at ease.
