Hi everyone,

Santali is a language from the Indian subcontinent with around 6.3 billion speakers. The request for the Wikipedi in Santali has been there for long and it was a part of CIS-A2K's 2014-15 Work Plan as well.

The volunteer community has been working actively since September 2017 and all the translations have been completed as well.

In a campaign of supporting Indian language Wikipedia program coordinated by Wikimedia Foundation , Google, Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN), two of their editors, Ramjit Tudu and Fagu Baskey have received laptops for their consistent effort for Santali Wikipedia (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Supporting_Indian_Language_Wikipedias_Program/Support/Laptops).

I even got some sample articles from a volunteer:

1. Leonardo da Vinci
2. Thomas Edison
3. Abdul Kalam

I strongly suggest the approval of this Wikipedia as soon as possible.

Regards
