Lek Ladki Abhiyan in collaboration with CIS-A2K organised a small gathering of organisations, authors and librarians from Satara district to spread the word about free knowledge and digitisation process. The volunteers - Uma & Pooja demonstrated the scanning and post processing. The first book was scanned and uploaded - Smrutichitre (Third volume) - is a famous autobiography of Lakshmibai Tilak published in 1935 in four volumes.

The session on copyrights, re-licensing process, Wikisource project and free knowledge movement was conducted. The authors and librarians discussed various issues regarding these aspects.
