সুধী,
বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতার সংগ্রামের ইতিহাস এবং এর গুরুত্বপূর্ণ দলিলাদি
সংরক্ষণের জন্য বাংলাদেশ সরকার ১৯৭৭ সালে বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধের ইতিহাস
লিখন এবং মুদ্রণ প্রকল্প গ্রহণ করে। এর ধারাবাহিকতায় ১৯৮২ সালে বাংলাদেশ
সরকারের তথ্য মন্ত্রণালয় কর্তৃক "বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ: দলিলপত্র" নামে
১৫ খন্ডে প্রায় ১৫ হাজার পৃষ্ঠার এক সুবিশাল গ্রন্থমালা প্রকাশিত হয়, যা
বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা সংগ্রামের ইতিহাসের গুরুত্বপূর্ণ সংকলন। বাংলাদেশের
ইতিহাস গবেষকদের জন্যও এটি একটি মূল্যবান রেফারেন্স গ্রন্থ হিসেবে বিবেচিত। এই
বই শুধু বাংলাদেশই নয়, সমগ্র বাঙালি জাতির বিকাশের ইতিহাসেরও একটি
গুরুত্বপূর্ণ অংশ। এই বইটি বাংলা উইকিসংকলন প্রকল্পে উপলব্ধ রয়েছে ঠিকই,
কিন্তু এর মুদ্রণ সংশোধন প্রয়োজন। যা এর পঠনযোগ্যতা বাড়াতে এবং সার্চ করে সহজে
তথ্য খুঁজে পেতে সহায়ক হবে। সেইসাথে ভবিষ্যতে উইকিপিডিয়ায় এই বিষয়ে ব্যাপক
হারে সঠিক তথ্য ও তথ্যসূত্র যোগ করা সম্ভব হবে।
বিজয়ের মাস ডিসেম্বরে উইকিমিডিয়া বাংলাদেশ চ্যাপ্টার ও পশ্চিমবঙ্গ উইকিমিডিয়া
ব্যবহারকারী দলের যৌথ উদ্যোগে আগামী ১লা ডিসেম্বর থেকে ৩১শে ডিসেম্বর ২০২২
পর্যন্ত বাংলা উইকিসংকলনে বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ উপলক্ষে একটি মুদ্রণ
সংশোধন প্রতিযোগিতার আয়োজন করা হয়েছে। প্রথম তিন বিজয়ীদের এই দুই সংগঠন থেকে
পুরস্কৃত করা হবে।
এই সংক্রান্ত বিস্তারিত তথ্য পাওয়া যাবে এখানে -

প্রতিযোগিতায় সকলের সক্রিয় অংশগ্রহণ কামনা করি।
ধন্যবাদান্তে,

Hello Everyone,

Hydrabad and Wikimedia foundation and will be led by IIIT Hyderabad and
supported by the Foundation. In the program, the participants will be
expected to start WikiClubs at their respective institutions, to contribute
to the growth and diversification of culture and heritage sources on
Wikisource and Wikimedia Commons in India, especially targeted around
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states of India, for more details visit
