### Project Description:
**About Us:**
SelfFly.in is a new platform that helps Indians plan their international travel, study abroad, or immigration independently—without paying expensive agents. We provide easy-to-understand information, smart tools, and community support to make the process simple, reliable, and cost-effective.
