Internet support

[edit]

Proposed activities

[edit]

Generally, rural areas are not properly networked. Slow networks or improper usage hinders social and economic activities. Most of the time I am unable to engage with my Wikipedia works due to a slow network. To rectify those issues I want to support proper speed internet service for throughout my project.

Expected impact

[edit]

The use of symmetric internet speed will provide opportunities for various types of digital skills peacefully. For example Image uploading, Literature writing and reviews, online meetings etc. This support will increase the number of free license materials regarding the butterfly adult species and its early stages available in Odisha, West Bengal and North-East region in India.

1. Number of photos uploaded to Wikimedia commons: 150 (approx) 2. Number of articles creat or improved: 20 (approx) 3. Attend online review work meeting: 03 (approx)

Estimated budget

[edit]

Internet service costing breakdown for 12 months (throughout project VI) = Rs. 9897.84 (it may change because of any GST revision) Basic monthly plan = Rs. 699.00 per month GST: GST will be extra as actual. i.e. present rate is @18% Installation: Free of cost — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Butterflyrajib (talk)

@Butterflyrajib:, thanks for your request, While you have made valuable contributions, but the edit count is still very low, checking which, we can approve for internet service for 1 month for now and then re-evaluate the contributions with that internet service for future support. Please contact @Atudu: to recharge for internet for 1 month only for now and submit the bill to her as required.-- Bodhisattwa (talk) 16:27, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodhisattwa:, Thanks for the valuable support. But this monthly postpaid plan (Rs. 699.00 with GST extra) is available for 3/6/12 months payment options only because they don't have charge for any other installation fee. Butterflyrajib (talk) 04:28, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Butterflyrajib:, in that case, we are fine to provide you internet support for next 3 month. However, for further support, we will review the quantitative and qualitative contributions you have made in the these 3 months. Please contact with @Atudu: to have your internet recharged and submit the bills to her. Bodhisattwa (talk) 04:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the initial support. Reimbursement received as per bill submission. Butterflyrajib (talk) 02:20, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Book Support

Proposed activities

[edit]

Purchase of some rare books on famous temple styles, terracotta temples, rivers and river basins, and history and culture of Bengal or Indian subcontinent. Starting new articles and expanding existing articles using information from these books.

[Special Note: There is very little or no information on the internet about temples, temple architectural styles, famous terracotta temples, rivers and river basins, and history and culture of Bengal. As a result, problems are faced in starting or expanding articles or writing detailed articles.]

These books will help start new articles and expand existing ones on famous temple styles, terracotta temples, rivers and river basins, and history and culture of Bengal or the Indian subcontinent. This activity will lead the wiki movement to fruition.
