Ravi,
With close to 16 hours of power cuts in Coimbatore, I've been unable to
hold meetups.
The last time I requested a venue, it was politely declined citing they
didn't know whether there would be power or not.

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
