Dear Indic Wikimedians,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am pleased to announce that CIS-A2K is extending scholarships to four Indian Wikimedians. These scholarships aim to provide an opportunity for these individuals to represent their community and projects on the global Wikimedia stage, connect with various Wikimedia communities and bring back ideas and good energy to their home communities.
The selected candidates have been chosen based on criteria and in consultation with Wikimania Organising Committee 2024 such as their online contributions and diversity, including both community and gender representation.
Here are the names of the scholarship recipients:
- Nettime Sujata (Bangla Wikisource)
- Komal Sambhudas (Marathi Wikisource)
- Ramjit Tudu (Santali Wikipedia)
- Nayan JNath (Assamese Wikipedia)
The major objective behind offering these scholarships is to provide an avenue for Indian Wikimedians who have been actively contributing to the community but have not yet had the opportunity to connect with the global Wikimedia community. We believe that facilitating their participation in global events can further enrich the diversity and collaboration within the Wikimedia movement.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the scholarship recipients and thank them for their valuable contributions to the Wikimedia community. Please join us in celebrating their achievements and supporting them in this exciting journey.
If you have any questions or would like further information, please feel free to reach out to us.
Best regards,
Pavan Santhosh,
Program Manager,
On behalf of CIS-A2K.
