In the era of constant iterations

The Bar Council of India states an approximate no. of 12 lakh lawyers and 4-5 lakh law students besides 60,000- 70,000 law students graduating in India every year. Our country is huge and having said that the figure above seems just modest. These Students and new lawyers end up spending lot of money on books and reference material through their course and research works, leaving most with financial stress and the rest to struggle with making space for books in their office. Moreover, with time the cost of physical books is increasing and so is the need for e books. Earlier which was just a fancy, has become a necessity now for most. The culture of e books has been around for a while now and now readers are opting for more efficient avenues.

We at Glossaread conceptualized the idea of making legal studies more convenient and affordable. After speaking with several in the field we understood that the price as well as the size of the books are a challenge to them and boiling down that problem can be a game changer. So we shared the idea with the Publications and the response has been warm and welcoming. We already have some of the major Publications on board like Manupatra and Lexis&Nexis. A good repository of books split into chapters is now what any legal student or advocate from anywhere in the country can access in a single click. All one has to do is register himself over at Glossaread and purchase any chapter they want in specific without having to buy the whole book.

• Chapter’s cost is much less than the cost of photocopying it.
• The reader gets a copyright protected material to read.
• One can read from any corner of the country on a cellphone, tab or a laptop.
• Moreover, the student also receives equivalent reward points of the purchase i,e if you buy chapters worth INR 100, you get 100 reward points at check-out which can be redeemed during further purchases.

Glossaread has effectively taken care of the stress of buying expensive books and now anyone can mindfully read anything in specific to his/her needs.

“The Bar Council of India is also well aware that practicing lawyers require similar access and training to constantly improve themselves and build a strong practice. A system of continuing legal education through various methodologies including seminars and workshops needs to be put in place for the same and various stakeholders such as State Bar Councils, High courts etc. will have to be involved in this.” -The Chairman of BCI.

In this era of constant iterations, being updated with the latest manoeuvre is the key. As long as the method of Education is practically efficient, readers shall consume the content. After all, now readers and students are smart enough to REJECT what they DO NOT NEED, and GRAB what they DO.

Survey to service.

Mind is the source of all the creation happening within this entity called body and more often than not with-out as well, you will have to focus hard to understand the later though. A healthy mind shapes the body, the society and the nation in totality and its imperative to give maximum effort in cultivating a healthy mind in our youth. Efforts often run parallel to challenges and There are several that a student and the learning ecosystem struggles with, in India.

Our effort was to understand the needs of students and serve accordingly but we had not paid enough attention until later this year. Understanding the struggles of students was essential so we put forth a team to survey students of various streams across India and help Glossaread serve better.

Challenges in the world of students:

#Family and society’s pressure

#Lack of career guidance

#Expensive Books, study material and electronic equipment

#Exam Pressure on Students

#Stress, depression and suicide

Above are the major problems faced by almost every 2 out 3 students, while fear of placements, less money and finance in college, relationship stress are some more to name. Unless we identify the struggles and address them they would continue to suck  student’s energy.

The Questions as asked in the survey:

#What is your studying behavior/ pattern in classroom?

#What Tools do you use to study outside of the classroom?

#How do your professors teach you in terms of introducing/ explaining the topic ?

#What references do your profs provide? ( ppts/ pdfs?). Giving the names of books and authors that you can refer to?

#Hows your time spent between referring to materials online and offline ?

#What are the main points in accessing your study material?

#Whats typically been your spend on getting access to study material?

The survey was important to Glossaread because it helped us focus more on the problems of the students. Glossaread now has begun to break the answers down and improve the product-service delivery more efficient.
