A program team has been formed recently from highly experienced Wikimedia
volunteers within and outside India. It is currently under the process of
expansion to include more diversity in the team. The team will evaluate the
submissions, accept, modify or reject them, design and finalise the program
schedule by the end of January 2021. Details about the team will come soon.
We are sure that you will share some of your most inspiring stories and
conduct some really exciting sessions during the event. Best of luck for
your submissions!

Today we released the works of Dr. krishnananda Kamat and Dr. Jyotsna Kamat
under cc-by-nc-sa - The late dr. Krishnananda Kamat was known as kammatiga-
person who explores and practically does the work for himself. He was a
very well known to the kannada literary community through his writings,
books, cooking, photography and more. Even before Wikipedia became a great
source of knowledge his https://Kamat.com has been the source for many
indian art, history and culture related information. We can see Kamat.com
being cited in may wiki pages too. He has written both in kannada and
English. Dr. Jyotsna Kamat has her own contributions to our language and
needs a separate introduction. She helped us source all kamats books and
helping us archive more than 100k images taken by Dr. Kamat. We plan to
make them available through Wikimedia commons. His pictures cover a great
deal of indian society, art, nature etc. I have been fortunate to have been
able to get this initiative kickstarted through our Sanchi Foundation.
Special thanks to Vivek Kamat, Son of Dr. Krishnananda Kamat for making it
easier through his special support through out. We shall soon have an
update on the photograph, negatives and transparency scans! Jyotsna
kamats Education in Karnataka through ages might be an interesting read for
many in this group among others. All the works are available on internet
Archive or throng the special portal we have put together here

ಕೃಷ್ಣಾನಂದ ಕಾಮತರನ್ನು ಒಂದೇ ಪದದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿವರಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದರೆ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ನಮಗೆ ಸಿಗುವುದು
"ಸವ್ಯಸಾಚಿ" ಎಂಬ ಪದ. ಆದರೆ ಕಾಮತರ ಅರಿವು ಮತ್ತು ಅಭಿವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯ ಹರಹು ಈ ಪದವನ್ನೂ
ಮೀರುವಂಥದ್ದು. ಶಿಕ್ಷಣತಜ್ಞ, ವಿದ್ವಾಂಸ, ಬರಹಗಾರ, ಛಾಯಾ ಚಿತ್ರಗ್ರಾಹಕ, ಚಿತ್ರಕಾರ ಹೀಗೆ
ಅವರ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಮತ್ತು ತಜ್ಞತೆಯ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಗಳು ಹಲವು. ಹವ್ಯಾಸ ಮಟ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ತೊಡಗಿಸಿಕೊಂಡ
ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಅವರು ಗಳಿಸಿದ ಪರಿಣತಿ ಅಪಾರ. ಅವರ 25ಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳ
ವೈವಿಧ್ಯಮಯ ವಿಷಯವೇ ಅವರ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿತ್ವವನ್ನು ಹೇಳಿಬಿಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಇದರಾಚೆಗೆ ಅವರು ತೆಗೆದ
ಛಾಯಾಚಿತ್ರಗಳ ಕತೆ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು. ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಅವರೇ ಚಿತ್ರಕಾರರೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅಲ್ಲಿನ ವಿಸ್ಮಯ
ಮತ್ತೊಂದು. ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ, ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ, ಜೀವ ವಿಜ್ಞಾನ ಹೀಗೆ ಹಲವು ದಿಕ್ಕುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹರಡಿಕೊಂಡಿರುವ
ಕೃಷ್ಣಾನಂದ ಕಾಮತರ ಬರೆಹ ಮತ್ತು ಛಾಯಾಚಿತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಅವರ ಕುಟುಂಬ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಬಳಕೆಗೆ
ಮುಕ್ತಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಅವರ ಪತ್ನಿ ಜ್ಯೋತ್ಸ್ನಾ ಕಾಮತ್ ಮತ್ತು ಪುತ್ರ ವಿಕಾಸ್ ಕಾಮತ್ ಅವರ
ತುಂಬು ಹೃದಯದ ಸಹಕಾರದಿಂದಾಗಿ ಸಂಚಯ ಮತ್ತು Sanchi Foundation ಈ ಕೃತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಡಿಜಿಟಲ್
ರೂಪಕ್ಕಿಳಿಸಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮುಂದಿಡುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಆ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳು ಕ್ರಿಯೇಟೀವ್ ಕಾಮನ್ಸ ಅಡಿ
ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯೇತರ ಉಪಯೋಗಕ್ಕೆ ಲಭ್ಯವಿವೆ.
