<p style="text-align: justify; ">As the <i><a href="http://granthottejak.org/about.html">Maharashtra Granthottejak Sanstha</a></i> (MGS) celebrated its 121st anniversary recently, the organization re-licensed 1000 books under the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">CC BY-SA 4.0</a> license so that the books could be digitized and be made available on the <a href="https://mr.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%96%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%83%E0%A4%B7%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A0">Marathi Wikisource</a> for millions of Marathi readers.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><a href="https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/12/03/open-access-marathi-language/#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">MGS is a non-profit organization working for the preservation of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharashtra" title="en:Maharashtra">Maharashtra’s</a> linguistic and cultural heritage. It was founded in Pune, India in 1894. Being an important archive for the preservation of many hundreds of years old manuscripts and historical artifacts from the Peshwa era, the institution is open to public for study and research.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">During the four-day anniversary celebration, the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K" title="CIS-A2K">Centre for Internet Society’s Access to Knowledge program</a> (CIS-A2K)—an organization that supports the Wikimedia movement in India—opened a Wikipedia stall there where Marathi Wikimedians were present. Around 600 people visited the stall and learned about the news of MGS’s book donation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Many active and new Marathi Wikimedians were present at the exhibition stall along with Abhinav Garule from the CIS-A2K program to share the incredible work Marathi Wikipedia and Wikimedia community at large are doing. Autographs of eighteen notable writers who received awards from Sanstha for different genres of writings were collected for uploading to the Wikipedia pages about them. While meeting the authors, Wikimedians also approached them to relicense some of their works under Creative Commons licenses so that they could be digitized on Wikisource and/or enrich Wikipedia—and some of the authors expressed a good deal of interest in opening up their books for Wikisource.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Some of the major books donated are <i>Peshwa Rojnishi</i> (diary of <i>Peshwa</i>), <i>Benjamin Franklin Charitra</i> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Autobiography_of_Benjamin_Franklin"><i>The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin</i></a>), <i>Kekavali</i>, <i>S M Paranjape Charitra</i> (autobiography), <i>Letters Exchanged between the Sanstha and the British Government</i>, <i>Shinde Gharanyacha Padmamay Itihas</i> (manuscript), and <i>Marathwadyatil Arvachin Marathi Vangmay</i> (modern Marathi literature from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathwada" title="w:Marathwada">Marathwada</a>, a region in Maharashtra) are some of the popular books read by Marathi speakers that are going to be part of the books donated by the organization.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">We reached out to Avinash Chaphekar, the joint secretary of the organization, to know more about the state of book publication and readership.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>Subhashish Panigrahi (SP): Could you share your ideas of opening these invaluable books for Wikisource? How they are going to be useful for the online readers to learn about the Peshwas?</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Avinash Chaphekar (AC): These books are of historical importance and contain information that needs to reach more people; they cover topics that are rarely covered well anywhere else. Right after India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi recommended the autobiography of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin" title="en:Benjamin Franklin">Benjamin Franklin</a>, as it contains a lot of messages for a common person, a lady walked up to and asked if she could read it in Marathi. Be it such autobiographies or a poetry book like “Kekavali”, such books that were published by the MGS should not be kept closed—many readers are searching for them. We donated 800 of these old books to the Marathi Wikisource because we don’t have large presence in the media or the Internet, so how would any reader who does not know us buy a book? If these books are available online, they can at least find and read them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>SP: Where do you think there is gap between publishers and readers today? Many Marathi books get published every year and if you search on the Internet, which many people today do, you would hardly find much.</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>AC</b>: Online readership is increasing every day, but when you look at Marathi readers, the majority of them are still buying books. During the exhibitions here (even this year!), there is always quite a rush to buy books. Only the youth and tech-savvy people read online. But most people we meet say that they feel more comfortable holding and reading physical books. Moreover, there is no concrete research validating that most of the youngsters here are accessing information only online. I still feel reading books in a conventional way by holding books in your hands will continue to exist as there is some kind of satisfaction that lies in it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>SP: Did you know that we are going to get these books retyped, meaning that readers will not just be able to read them in their smartphones or computers but they could use the text for republishing the same books in the future? How do you think such a model will be useful for publishers?</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>AC</b>: At the MGS, we don’t have funds to republish these books, and publishers are not ready to do it no matter how historically valuable the books are—even an incredibly valuable reference book called <i>Marathi Grantha Nirmiti Watchal</i> (the history of creation of Marathi books in Marathi), authored by SG Tulpule and published by us in 1973. This book has detailed information about Marathi publications, even those that existed before printing technology existed. As many such books are not being reprinted, we cannot leave the remaining few copies to perish. Let them go online and reach millions of people.</p>

https://cis-india.org/openness/discussion-on-bringing-peshwa-culture-on-marathi-wikipedia
<b>Maharashtra Granthottejak Sanstha, a Pune based non-profit that was founded in Justice Mahadev Govind Ranade and colleagues in 1894, has recently announced to digitise their 1000 volumes of books centred around Peshwa culture. A discussion about digitising these books and making them available online on Marathi Wikisource is being organised on December 1 at the Energy Resources Institute(TERI), Bengaluru. Avinash Chaphekar, Joint Secretary of MGS will be addressing this talk.</b>
<p>Books published by Maharashtra Granthottejak Sanstha (MGS) vastly cover the Peshwa culture of Maharashtra apart from many other significant aspects of the history of Maharashtra. The books will be digitised on the Marathi-language Wikisource (<a class="external-link" href="https://mr.wikisource.org">mr.wikisource.org</a>) by the Marathi Wikimedia community. Marathi Wikisource is a sister project of <a class="external-link" href="https://mr.wikipedia.org">Marathi Wikipedia</a> and is a free online Marathi-language library. Started in 2012, it currently houses about 800 volumes of Marathi books.</p>
<p>MGS was founded in Pune by Justice M. G. Ranade, Dr. Ramkrishna Bhandarkar and Lokamanya Tilak in 1894. Earlier known Deccan Vernacular Translation Society, it was renamed as Maharashtra Granthottejak Sanstha in 1948. The Society has a collection of invaluable literary treasure like 100 yrs old rare literary work and manuscripts, Peshwa diaries and records, Justice Ranade's correspondence, 30 thesis on various subjects and many different domains. These collections make the institution a great place for study and research. Maharashtra Granthottejak Sanstha (MGS) celebrated its 121st anniversary recently at Pune, MGS donated 1000 books for Marathi Wikisource so that the books could be digitised and be made available for millions of Marathi readers. Avinash Chaphekar, Joint Secretary of the organisation who will be addressing the talk that is being organised by the Centre for Internet and Society, Bengaluru.</p>

<b>The Centre for Indian Languages in Higher Education (CILHE) is conducting a two-day workshop on Digital Annotation and Content Generation with research scholars at KSP Women’s Studies Centre, Pune on October 30-31, 2015.</b>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Day 1:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As part of this workshop, we will be working
with <a class="external-link" href="http://www.annotationstudio.org/">Annotation Studio</a><span class="_Tgc">, </span>a set of collaborative web-based and open source
annotation tools that allows users to share texts and annotate them
simultaneously. For the educator, it enables tracing points of
engagement with the text, identifying which paragraphs generate most
interest and why, and learn how readers understand the argument of the
text based on marking of tags. For the student, digital annotation is an
interesting exercise in close analytical reading, responding to
feedback, and building an argument.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Day 2:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The second day will be spent in understanding about generating
encyclopedic content on Wikipedia. We will engage the participants in annotating key
Women’s Studies texts and create well-referenced entries on various Indian language Wikipedia projects.</p>

https://cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/wikipedia-workshop-in-the-theme-of-201csou-dhuni-teen201d-in-pune-university
<b>A two-day Wikipedia workshop was organised in the Srimati Savitribai Phule Pune University on the 20th August 2015. The workshop was focused on enriching Wikipedia with 100 articles related to notable Indian women under the scope of the “Sau Dhuni Teen” project.</b>
<p id="docs-internal-guid-7755dbad-d111-8957-68c7-f3ec5877ad2e" dir="ltr">To begin with, we announced it in the Marathi Wikipedia <a href="https://goo.gl/QJrPDJ">village pump </a>prior to the workshop inviting Wikipedians to join. The primary goal of the project was to to introduce Wikipedia as an encyclopaedia for research and a concept to new editors, to promote Marathi Wikipedia and promote the use of Indian languages in Wikipedia.This workshop provided a platform to have an open interaction within the editors, existing as well as new. Interestingly, there was a male:female ratio of 1:10 among the new participants out of which five edited Wikipedia before coming there. Six new accounts were created on that day. Each of the participants created at least one new article which resulted creation of 15 new articles where 28 articles in English, Bangla and Hindi Wikipedias were edited totally. As the participants were new, learning typing using Wikipedia’s native Marathi input method “<a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Input_methods/mr-transliteration">Aksharantaran</a>” was slightly difficult for some where some found the <a href="http://www.google.com/inputtools/chrome/">Google’s input </a>easier. Unavailability of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About_the_Sandbox">sandboxes</a> (user subpages where users work on a draft Wikipedia article until it is fully ready to be published) in Marathi Wikipedia was a concern as many editors were unsure if their article might be changed and/or deleted during the time when they were editing. During the workshop one good quality article was created and the second one was in progress by the end of the second day. We helped the editors to refer to the existing good quality articles for understanding how to write one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are planning to to engage with the participating new editors once or twice in a quarter. The event is being organised in collaboration with Centre for Indian Languages in Higher Education (CILHE).</p>
