Important Update Regarding Online Content & Classes

Dear Students, Readers, and Subscribers,

I am posting this update to share a critical decision regarding the future of new content on this blog and our YouTube channel.

Over the past months, I have been facing severe financial difficulties. I reached out to our community for support to help sustain our online teaching efforts. However, apart from two dedicated students—to whom I am deeply grateful—I did not receive any financial support from the wider audience.

Decision: Consequently, I have decided to discontinue creating new online teaching content for AHSEC/ASSEB Class 12 and Dibrugarh University courses.

Creating regular content requires significant time, effort, and resources. Under the current circumstances, it is no longer sustainable for me to dedicate time here without mutual community support.

Moving forward, I will be directing my time and energy toward my personal academic goals—specifically preparing for my CMA Final Examination in December 2026. Focusing on my studies is necessary for my professional career and long-term stability.

A sincere thank you to the two students who stepped forward during this difficult period, and to everyone who has supported my work over the years. All existing notes and study materials will remain available on the blog for your reference.

I wish you all the very best in your studies and future exams.

Warm regards,
Kumar Nirmal Prasad
