Thank you, Ravi and Isaac!|
I'm happy to share that, continuing the collaboration with the Odia community, Today, the Government of Odisha has announced to release the content of two major departments; Information and Public Relations and ST & SC Development, Minorities & Backward Classes Welfare Dept. under Creative Commons license. Both the department has a huge collection of content and will help in improving a lot of Wikipedia articles. It was announced by the I&PR dept. and also by the Chief Minister's Office, https://twitter.com/CMO_Odisha/status/947838684874792960. The required changes will be made in the upcoming week.

Sailesh and all Odia community members,
This is an impressive accomplishment! Congrats!
Especially, the short turn-around time to take the decision is remarkable and it was a smart move to ask the social media account to be freely licensed.

Hello Everyone,
I am glad to share a recent collaboration of Odia Wikipedia
community
with
the Government of Odisha.
After releasing the content of 2017 Asian Athletics
Championships (
athletics-championships/
) another initiative by the Government of Odisha to bridge the
dearth
of
Information about Odisha on Wikipedia by releasing its social
media
accounts under CC-BY 4.0.
Earlier this week, the community members met the Government
officials
regarding this, and after understanding the value of Open
Content,
it
took
only 24hrs to release the social media channels under CC-BY 4.0
license.
As a pilot project, 8 social media accounts from Government of
Odisha
are
under CC-BY 4.0,Now, the content is free for everyone to use,
share,
and
build upon their work. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/09/18/odisha-social-
media-free-license/
The community is also planning to take the collaboration further
and
relicense some of the websites under CC-BY 4.0.
