Really nice points stated by you Hisham, heartfelt thanks for all these points out of which we thought over once, you reinforced them, few of the points which you have mentioned here are really important and we never thought about them. I am taking a printout to make sure I don't forget them in the course of sticking to the time.

And yes, I would love to inform that Srikant, whose mother tongue is not Odia, but is working very eagerly for the development of Odia Wikipedia has already done 2 campaigns in two schools by distributing posters. He is trying to reach more students.

About the local media I have personally contacted 3 journalists and through their contacts I am trying to reach more of the media people to create awareness for the event. The good fact is Mr. Dhanada Mishra, who is a dean of a management school and himself has personally taken interest to book the venue has engaged a Bhubaneswar based organization "Ama Odisa" who are involved in the development of Odia language and literature for a long time and also a part of
one of the popular newspapers/TV Channel/FM Radio of Odisha.

And we are organizing a webinar in Baleswar where the viewers will be able to watch us and will participate as we dropped the plan of traveling there for one more academy because of shortage of time.

Again, thanks a lot for your interest and support, will be pinging you sometime when you are online.

Good day!
