Telugu Wikipedia celebrates 10 years today and there have been several wiki training sessions, aka wikiacademies planned by the Telugu Wikipedia Community. 

One of these Telugu wikipedia training sessions was organised at Hyderabad on Sunday, 8th December, 2013. This is 5th such academy that has taken place at Hyderabad. 

The event saw a turnout of around 21 people coming from various teaching backgrounds; right from a Professor in Telugu from Osmania University to a teacher at a private school, Teachers, professors, student-teachers, instructors attended the event. 

A detailed description is given here.

This event has drawn lines for organising Tewiki Dasabdi (translates to Telugu Wikipedia Decennial celebrations) with more enthusiasm. 

The teaching community of Telugu has reaffirmed to make use of Telugu wikipedia in and out of the classroom, and also many of the participants have already turned into wikipedia editors. 

"Few of the difficulties, the Telugu teaching fraternity faces  have been solved by Telugu Wikipedia" said one of the participants, hailing from Mysore CIIL.

"I've been horrified by the mere touch of keyboard and mouse, this Telugu Wikipedia seems promising to deal with my Computerophobia" said HoD, Telugu Osmania University Prof SV Satyanarayana. The professor also urged the organisers to conduct one such workshop for his students in the coming days. 

Congrats to the community on completion and success of this session.
