I am an academician, a researcher, and a language diversity champion. I am proficient in Angika, Hindi and English.
So far I have managed three Wikimedia funded projects focused on representation of linguistic and knowledge diversity on Wikimedia projects:
- The Oral Culture Transcription Toolkit: A toolkit that provides detailed information on documenting the oral culture and knowledge within one's language.
- Needs assessment for the documentation and revitalization of Indic languages using Wikimedia projects: A needs assessment research focused on understanding the requirements of a common person for documenting their language.
- Indic Oral Culture Project: An experimental project that empowered citizen archivists to document their oral culture on Wikimedia projects.
- Enhancing Indic Oral Culture on Wikimedia projects: the project empowered citizen archivists from 14 language communities while focusing also on their integration on Wikimedia projects and forging collaborations for academic rigour and better transcription.
- Documenting and disseminating Indic oral culture on Wikimedia projects- Phase II: is building on the community and representation of oral culture to enrich Wikimedia projects with underrepresented languages and knowledge forms.
As a Wikimedian, I usually contribute to Angika oral culture on Wikisource and Wikimedia Commons by uploading oral culture videos videos and their transcriptions.
