“GeoBitaan”
“GeoBitaan” is a new world in the field of GEOGRAPHY, emerging in the ‘Era of Anthropocene’ to explore the ‘nuts and bolts’ related to the geographical facts as tutorials. It covers all geography related solutions basically in Bengali language and sometimes also in “benglish (Bengali + English)” to realize the concepts.
The theoretical concepts as well as the practical problems both are solved here with proper explanation to know the world better.
