Dear All,
CIS-A2K is organising a 4 day Train the Trainer (TTT) program in Bangalore during 1st week of October 2013. The idea of the program is to build capacity and enable community members to conduct outreach sessions independently or with minimal support to introduce Wikipedia to prospective editors in their respective Indian languages.
By way of this program, CIS-A2K wants to support and enable community members who might be interested to conduct Wikipedia outreach sessions in their own cities/languages. The event is open to all Wikimedia volunteers from India who can and want to support outreach events in the coming year.
CIS-A2K is calling for applicants for it's Train the Trainer Program. If you'd like to be part of this program please make sure that you meet the selection criterion [1] and submit Train the Trainer Program Application From [2] by 13th September, 2013.
To know more about the program, rationale, overview, timeline etc. please check the attached document or visit the Meta page.[3]
We look forward to hearing from you soon. For any further queries please mail at a2k(a)cis-india.org
Thanks

Dear Shri Vishnu,
I think you forgot to reply to my queries. I would also like to know the
responsibilities of Programme Officer and whether he is paid for his
servises.

Indic languages have got that flavour. It's the time to evaluate globally.
Start with Sanskrit.
Okay

I also congratulate Mr Muzammiluddin Syed for being selected as the new
Programme Officer.
Can the group know the criteria for selection to this post. (or is it given
somewhere?) I want to know this because I do not think that the 'BOLT
Award' , Gold medals from IGNOU, papers in weeklies etc are relevant and
really matter in this case. Was his contribution to Hindi wiki also
assesed? Were some other candidates also in the race?

Most certainly! At CIS-A2K we are eagerly looking forward to increasing our
interaction with the Hindi and Urdu Wiki communities and to learn and to
contribute.

This was mentioned in the job advertisement, which I think was also posted
on this list, some months ago. We will also be putting up a blog post on
the selection process, which will give more details.
I want to know this because I do not think that the 'BOLT

Yes. Each applicant's on-wiki experience was also taken into consideration
among other criteria.

Yes. We had received more than 35 applications.
