Agree with Arnav. Gujarat has awesome facility of power.. There is no power cut in
ahmedabad and other cities as well as rural areas.

Hey,
In Gujarat I can assure you nothing this *drastic* or *unfortunate* situation is there,
in some villages in Gujarat there are regular power cuts.
In Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities once in a week for about 3-5 hours power cut (fix timing
though).
I don't remember when was the last power cut in Ahmedabad.

Hi,
Since 2009, most of Tamilnadu is facing a power crisis. It started with few hours of
power cut. For the last few months, it has gone up to 18 to 20 hours of unscheduled power
cut every single day. Only Chennai city is exempted with a 2 hour power cut. Government is
not sure when the crisis will be resolved. It could be next year or it could take few more
years.
What this means for the growth of Wikimedia expansion in Tamilnadu?
Every single contributor in Tamilnadu that I talk to are unable to contribute to their
full capacity because of the power cuts. I fear that this may be a bigger concern in
attracting new contributors. When there is only few hours of power left, other major
concerns like work and study will be given priority. There won't be much time for
hobbies and forget geeky activities like Wikipedia editing. This is a major blow given the
fact that computer and internet usage was increasing in the last few years.
How is the power situation in other states?
Ravi
