BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Over the last few decades, the education sector has developed
significantly with the introduction of various mechanisms to provide
vertical and horizontal information on the global developments, its
future impact and available avenues to reach the goals. The
conventional and conservative way of approaching foreign universities
has now taken back seat. Now, a large number of students are
approaching private institutions directly to get the most useful and
guiding advice. The services by the private institutions to the
students on one to one basis gained tremendous craze. There is an
increased demand for flexible educational institutes that allow
students to gain knowledge in their various areas of interest.
The Institute of International Education reports that India has been
the leading source of foreign students in the United States since
2000-2001. In the 2007-2008 academic years, 15 percent of all foreign
students admitted were from India, corresponding to almost 95,000
people. The majority of these Indian students pursue graduate studies,
as did three out of four Indian students in 2006-2007. However, the
number of Indians submitting applications to US graduate schools shrunk
12 percent for the 2008-2009 school year compared with 2007-2008,
according to a report from the Council of Graduate Schools, and the
same trend has been continued in the year 2009-10. However your board
of Directors has taken the initiative by developing necessary parallel
and alternative measures for implementation for increasing the
business.
POSTAL BALLOT RESOLUTIONS

Securities/instruments in the form of Foreign Currency Convertible
