Thanks Arun for the wishes. We are also actively pursuing similar such efforts (in Kannada too) and will certainly keep the community updated.

Following this CIS-A2K will be starting a social media campaign called "Let Knowledge Go-around" (LKG) which asks for reform of Indian copyright act, such that the publicly funded knowledge is made available to public for free. We will share more details of this campaign and seek yours and other community members support in making this demand as loud as possible.
