Belated Translation Day Greetings.

As you are aware, through National data sharing and accessibility policy(NDSAP) now we are able to source the images/videos from GOI websites to Wikimedia Commons. 

NDSAP is not implemented in many states. 

If NDSAP is implemented in a state, we can reuse images from state govt websites in Wikimedia Commons. It will also help in maps in wikipedia (district map, national park map,highway map) because OSM can use gis data from open data govt portals. 

 

Kerala state is yet to implement NDSAP. 

For that, we wikimedians User:Ranjithsiji , User:Mujeebcpy  and myself had created open data video (derived from open data NZ)

We were able to circulate the message among the govt officials and talk to them about the importance of open data.(User:Manojk, User:Jkadavoor)

Kerala state has started the process to implement NDSAP policy. 

I request each language community to translate this video. (video transcript is available here)
