5. If some pictures are available by a State Government portal like here<http://www.orissa.gov.in/e-magazine/Orissareview/febmar2005/englishpdf/tportraitoascbp.pdf> Not possible as of now since the license of the site is not defined. The story is same with all Central/State government websites (except few government department sites of Kerala Government). For us to reuse images from a site, the license of the site should be PD or some copyleft license.
