Symposium on Marathi Wikipedia, Wikisource and Wiktionary Projects at Gokhale Institute Of Politics & Economics

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Background

[edit]

From the deliberations and workshops with various organisations and groups in the last few months, the need was felt to bring all the stakeholders at one place for holistic thinking and to evolve strategies. Wikipedia project is known to community but Wikisource and Wiktionary Projects have not been launched in Marathi with specific inputs. This concern was discussed by Eminent ecologist Prof. Madhav Gadgil and Marathi Community Advocate with active personalities in various fields, who can take initiative to contribute to these projects. In all, 70 persons were contacted by the organisers.
Gokhale Institute Of Politics & Economics and Rawat's Nature Academy took lead in organising this symposium. CIS-A2K facilitated the process. Eminent ecologist Prof. Madhav Gadgil and Marathi Community Advocate Subodh Kulkarni acted as Resource Person.
