Dear all,
Odia Wikisource went live yesterday and is available at: https://or.wikisource.org. It was in the main Wikisource for about 1.9 years and has an active community consisting 8 contributors. So far almost 3 books have been digitized. Recently a few new contributors joined and are digitizing Odia Bhagabata.
CIS-A2K congratulates the community and thank all the contributors, Wikimedia Language Committee, Wikimedia Foundation Board and all the Wikimedians who have helped to set up the wiki.

Dear all,
It is an honour and pleasure to announce that CIS-A2K is getting 11 Odia books of notable Odia litterateur Ramakrushna Nanda under CC-by-SA 4.0. 11 of these books contain an encyclopedia, a series of 8 story books, an Odia grammar book, and an essay book. These books will be useful both for Odia Wikisource and Odia Wikipedia. Our greatest regard to the late author.
To thank Nanda's family, we interviewed and made a small documentary with their reaction about bringing these books on Wikisource:
Best, Subha
