I must say I am pleased and more than amazed that you have made a spectacular progress. You have not only been imaginative but also have a scientific temper. Your effort to bring knowledge about the computer in Gujarati is a brilliant proof.” *Addressed to Himanshu Kikani, founder of Aalekhan


Giving back to the society...

At Aalekhan, we believe in giving back to the society, what we have gained from it. www.cybersafar.com reflects the same spirit. The site is an initiative of Aalekhan to make Gujarati families Internet-friendly and techno-savvy. The seeds of this site lies in a hugely popular weekly column with the same name in 'Kalash' supplement of 'Divya Bhaskar' started in January 2008, by the founder of Aalekhan. The site provides easy understanding - in Gujarati language - of numerous useful services and knowledge oriented websites on the net. The site goes much beyond documenting the weekly column articles and has become a platform of interaction for curious and knowledge-seeking Gujaratis. You are welcome to surf and contribute!
