    <title>BHASHA - Indian Languages Digital Festival</title>
    <link>https://cis-india.org/a2k/news/bhasha-indian-languages-digital-festival</link>
    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;Subhashish Panigrahi gave a talk at the Bhasha- India Languages Digital Festival a conference organized by news media YourStory, at New Delhi on March 11, 2016.  In the panel "The challenges of making regional language content available on the Web and on mobiles" Panigrahi spoke about some of the challenges in growing the Indian-language Wikipedia projects and the communities. &lt;/b&gt;
        
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The notes for the talk are below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Wikipedia, that exists in many Indian languages are not known to masses. I personally did not know about the &lt;a title="w:or:Main page" class="extiw" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/or:Main_page"&gt;Odia Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; until 2011 when a friend told me about its existence. Back then the project was completely inactive. And then a couple of friends and I started contributing, more contributors joined and the project grew up to what it is today. The site now has over 300,000 visitors every month and it is the largest visited site in Odia language on the Internet. This could probably be the same case for your language.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It has been quite challenging in the past to grow the Indian-language Wikipedia projects. There are many challenges and I would talk about eight of them:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;dt&gt;1. Language communities&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The language communities of many of the Indian languages are such that many of them even do no know how to search any information online in their language typed in their script. Some even share that because Google's home page does not have their script means that their language does not exist on the Internet. There exist a large gap of ignorance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;dt&gt;2. Wikipedia's editor community&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Wikipedia, as you all know, is written by people like you and me. And from writing to editing everything happens voluntarily. As many people do not probably know or do not try to learn that they themselves can correct the mistakes and inaccuracy that exist in many Wikipedia articles. The Wikipedia editor communities for several Indian languages are really small. When these languages are spoken by millions of people, only a handful editors contribute in editing the Wikipedia in these languages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;dt&gt;3. Language input&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There is a vast majority of people in this country that do not know how to type in their own language.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;dt&gt;4. Low availability of Indian-language content on the Internet&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are two stages to the lack of Open Access to information. First, lack of native language content on the Internet bars many to access knowledge. Take the example of my state. When the Kerala government's official tourism portal is available in Odia and other Indian languages, my state, the Odisha government's tourism portal has no information in Odia-language. Our languages are neglected largely in our own states.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;dt&gt;5. Mismatch of conventional and new media&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Many conventional have still been using non-standard variants of ASCII/ISCII script encoding systems instead of adopting the Unicode standard. Unicode being a global standard and having the advantage of unifying the world has been available for Indian languages about 25 years now.&lt;sup class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Subhashish_Panigrahi_speaking_at_%22BHASHA-Indian_Languages_Digital_Festival%22,_New_Delhi,_11_March_2016.ogg#cite_note-1"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; But many of our traditional media has failed to adopt this. Malayala Manorama, one of the most circulated dailies in Malayalam languages and one of the oldest Indian newspaper still has not started using Unicode on their website. Same is the case for many other newspapers in India.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;dt&gt;6. Lack of Open Access&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The information produced on the Internet in general and by the government, in particular, are mostly copyrighted. The paywalled garden of copyright restrictions keeps the information closed and stop people from sharing and learning more. On the contrary, Wikipedia is available under a Creative Commons Share-Alike license which allows anyone to make use of the content and even distribute commercial copies of its content. The idea of opening up information for masses in a free license could make the information reach to millions of people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;dt&gt;7. Mobile input&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;With over 1 billion people with mobile phones, the 15% internet penetration rate will soon grow meaning lot many Indians will have access to the Internet. If these people are not educated about native language input then they will be victims of the English-centric Internet rather than being able to enjoy the virtue of the same. Many Indians that have smartphones need pre-built input methods to be able to contribute in their own language Wikipedia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;dt&gt;8. People with disabilities&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Many cannot read, speak and write. India has over 60 million people with hearing impairment.&lt;sup class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Subhashish_Panigrahi_speaking_at_%22BHASHA-Indian_Languages_Digital_Festival%22,_New_Delhi,_11_March_2016.ogg#cite_note-2"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; There is a need for good quality text to and speech to text engine for these languages. Also, these software products have to be free software so common people, that cannot afford to buy expensive proprietary software like &lt;a title="w:JAWS (screen reader)" class="extiw" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAWS_(screen_reader)"&gt;JAWS&lt;/a&gt;, can contribute to Wikipedia in their language. Many text-to-speech engines that are available today for Indian languages sound so mechanical that it is way hard for common speakers to use them.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Wikipedia taps students for Kannada content</title>

    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;Conducts workshops in Ujire, Moodbidri for training in vernacular editing.&lt;/b&gt;
        &lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;The article by Renuka Phadnis was &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/wikipedia-taps-students-for-kannada-content/article5824580.ece"&gt;published in the Hindu&lt;/a&gt; on March 24, 2014. Dr. U.B.Pavanaja is quoted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Wikipedia is tapping college students in tier II and III cities in India to increase vernacular content on the web-based encyclopaedia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;U.B. Pavanaja, Programme Officer – Indian Language, Access to Knowledge, Centre for Internet Studies (CIS), Bangalore, says there is adequate content on Kannada, Kannadiga, Karnataka on Kannada Wikipedia but on science and technology, the content is a little less.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;To fill this gap, he is conducting workshops to teach students to turn volunteers for Wikipedia in far-flung places like Ujire and Moodbidri.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;On Sunday, 47 students attended a workshop at Shri Dharmasthala Manunatheshwara (SDM) College in Ujire. And most of them immediately donned the volunteer’s cap. “More people who write Kannada should contribute to Wikipedia in Kannada,” says Shalini, a student of M.A. in Mass Communication and Journalism (MCJ) at SDM College, after the workshop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Murali Krishna, also a journalism student of SDM College, says typing in the language was “a bit difficult” but some practice will make it simpler. “I had no idea about (editing) Kannada Wikipedia,” he says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;On Saturday Mr. Pavanaja — who has been editing the Kannada Wikipedia for the past 10 years — conducted a similar workshop for 30 students at Alva’s College, Moodbidri.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Mr. Pavanaja says contributions peaked in between 2006 and 2008, then declined “due to many reasons” and “picked up last year”. There was a significant increase in the number of editors after 500 students of Christ University, Bangalore, were trained in editing at a workshop held in January this year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;He says Kannada Wikipedia has very few women editors. Of the 557 editors of Kannada Wikipedia, who have contributed 16,670 articles till now, 226 are active editors and, of them, five men and three women editors are “very active”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Bhaskar Hegde, Head of the Department, MCJ, SDM College, said he got the workshops organised at the college after hearing about them from friend Niranjan Vanalli (Chairman, Department of MCJ, Mysore University). He said, “This is the second workshop here. The students are enthusiastic and it sharpens their writing skills.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Mangalore will host a workshop to get people to contribute to Tulu Wikipedia. U.B. Pavanaja, Programme Officer – Indian Language, Access to Knowledge, Centre for Internet Studies (CIS), Bangalore, said a workshop will be held in Theosophical College, Balmatta, on April 6.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;It is imperative to make efforts to develop encyclopaedias in all vernacular languages, S. Rehmanuddin, programme officer, Centre of Internet Society - Access To Knowledge, said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;In a guest lecture on Telugu Wikipedia organised by the Computer Science department in JNTU College of Engineering, Pulivendula, he explained the way Wikipedia works - the wiki model and the Wiki mark-up language.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Students were also told about the workings of the media wiki framework, which forms the backend of Wikipedia and several similar projects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Head of Computer Science, A. Suresh Babu, explained that the guest lecture was organised to enlighten CSE students about Wikipedia, the largest encyclopaedia ever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;It is the biggest multilingual textual source with over three crore articles in 287 languages including Telugu, students were told.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;It has over four million articles on various topics ranging from arts to mythology and science to advanced computing, he added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;He explained to the participants about Media wiki API that would help them understand web services and create applications based on the API data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;IT will help them to create data-driven projects in future, he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Automation of tasks in the form of running bot scripts were also demonstrated during the lecture.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;Kannada litterateurs stressed on the importance of books and cultivating the habit of reading on the occasion of ‘World Book Day’ on Wednesday.&lt;/b&gt;
        &lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;The article was &lt;a class="external-link" href="http://www.deccanherald.com/content/401569/039books-bridge-generations039.html"&gt;published in the Deccan Herald&lt;/a&gt; on April 23, 2014. Dr. U.B.Pavanaja was a speaker on the occasion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Speaking on the sidelines of the event, writer Narahalli Balasubramanya said “We should ensure children emulate great minds if we want them to be responsible citizens. This is possible only if we make them read good books.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Today, we are increasingly finding ourselves in the company of corrupt people. It is through books that we can interact with great literary figures such as Bendre and Kuvempu.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;The event was jointly organised by Karnataka Publishers Association, Kendra Sahitya Akademi, Karnataka Lekhakiyara Sangha and Indian Institute of World Culture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Balasubramanya maintained that the Kendra Sahitya Academy sold books at affordable rates and also gave a funding of Rs 400 crore to the book publishers, annually. “But not many people are aware of books entering market and the works don’t reach people,” he added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;A series of Kannada works written by authors were released on the occasion. Writer Dr Siddalingaiah who released the books said “Books are bridges between our minds and our ancestors’ minds. Every home should have a small library.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify; "&gt;‘Pustaka Bhagya’&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;“The State government has introduced Anna Bhagya, Ksheera Bhagya and other schemes. Similarly, they should also implement Pustaka Bhagya,” said M V Nagaraj Rao of Shrungara Prakashana.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Technical writer in Kannada U B Pavanaja maintained that in Kannada Wikipedia there was dearth of information on Kannada literary works. “There is enough information about English works but not on Kannada novels and literary publications. The Kannada publishers should strive to feed information and synopsis of each work into the Kannada wikipedia,” he added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Public Library Department celebrated the occasion by holding a book exhibition and essay competition for children at City Central Library premises on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;ప్రపంచ ప్రఖ్యాతి చెందిన కళాకారుల గురించి కావచ్చు, తెలుగునాట  మరుగునపడ్డ చిత్రకారుని గురించి కావచ్చు - తెలుగులో లోటుగా ఉన్న  ఆసక్తిదాయకమైన. విజ్ఞానదాయకమైన అంశాలపై &lt;a href="http://www.misimimonthly.com/"&gt;మిసిమి&lt;/a&gt; వెలుగుపరచడం తెలిసిందే. అలాంటి మిసిమి పత్రిక తమ గ్రంథాలయంలో గత దశాబ్ది  పాటు అంతర్జాలంలో తెలుగులో స్వేచ్ఛా విజ్ఞాన సృష్టి చేస్తున్న తెలుగు  వికీపీడియా హైదరాబాద్ సమావేశానికి, వికీడేటా లేబుల్‌-అ-థాన్‌కి  ఆతిథ్యమిచ్చారు. కార్యక్రమాన్ని తెలుగు వికీపీడియా, సీఐఎస్‌-ఎ2కెల తరఫు  నుంచి పవన్‌ సంతోష్‌ నిర్వహించగా, మిసిమి వైపు నుంచి సంపాదక మండలి సభ్యుడు  కాండ్రేగుల నాగేశ్వరరావు, ప్రధాన సంపాదకుడు వల్లభనేని అశ్వనీకుమార్  సమన్వయపరిచారు. నిర్వహించిన పవన్‌ సంతోష్‌తో పాటు తెలుగు వికీడియన్‌లు  ప్రణయ్‌రాజ్‌, రహ్మానుద్దీన్, వీవెన్, అజయ్‌ పాల్గొన్నారు. మిసిమి  సంపాదకులు వల్లభనేని అశ్వినీకుమార్, కాండ్రేగుల నాగేశ్వరరావు, మిసిమి  రచయితల్లో ఒకరు, ప్రముఖ తెలుగు అనువాదకులు ముక్తవరం పార్థసారధి ఈ సమావేశంలో  పాలుపంచుకున్నారు.&lt;/p&gt;

(ఇతర బాధ్యతల కారణంగా ఆపైన సమావేశం నుంచి రహ్మాన్  నిష్క్రమించారు) తెలుగు రచయితలు ఎక్కువమంది వివరాలు తెలుగు వికీపీడియాలో  దొరకాలని, అందుకు అవసరమైతే డేటా స్థాయిలో తాము సహకరించగలమని వల్లభనేని  అశ్వినీకుమార్ పేర్కొనగా తెలుగు వికీపీడియా విషయ ప్రాధాన్యత పరిధిలోని  వారికి తెవికీలో వ్యాసాలు సృష్టించడం, మిగిలిన అందరి వివరాలను వేరే వేదికలో  సమాచారం అందుబాటులోకి తేవడం చేయవచ్చని వీవెన్ సమాధానమిచ్చారు. ముక్తవరం  పార్థసారధి ఉదాహరణ కోసం రచయిత త్రిపుర వ్యాసాన్ని తెరిచి అందులోని  సమాచారాన్ని పరిశీలించి ప్రారంభ స్థాయిలో ఉన్నా ఇలా ఎందరో రచయితలు, ఇతర  అంశాల గురించి విజ్ఞానాన్ని అందించడం చాలా కీలకమని పేర్కొన్నారు.  పార్థసారధి మాట్లాడుతూ ఏ విషయంలోనైనా అత్యున్నత నాణ్యత కోసం అంటూ అసలు  పనిచేయకపోవడం కన్నా సాధ్యమైనంత ఉత్తమ నాణ్యతతో పని జరుగుతూండడం మంచిదని తన  దృక్పథాన్ని వెల్లడించారు. పవన్ సంతోష్‌ ఒక మంచి వ్యాసాన్ని చూపించి, ఈ  స్థాయికి నాణ్యత అభివృద్ధి చేయాలన్న లక్ష్యంతో పనిచేస్తున్న వికీపీడియన్లూ  ఉన్నారని తెలిపారు. పవన్ సంతోష్‌ మాట్లాడుతూ మిసిమి వారు నాణ్యమైన వనరులు  రూపొందించినవైన చిత్రకళ, సాహిత్యం, సంగీతం, నాట్యం అన్న నాలుగు అంశాలు  తీసుకుని, ఈ రంగాల్లో తెలుగువారి గురించి తెలుగు వికీపీడియాలో నాణ్యమైన  సమాచారం రూపొందించేందుకు ప్రామాణిక మూలాలను జాబితా వేయడం అందరికీ  ఉపయుక్తమని సూచించారు. చర్చల్లో భాగంగా తెలుగు వికీపీడియా గురించి, తెలుగు  వికీపీడియాలో అసలు రాయవచ్చన్న సంగతినీ విస్తృతమైన తెలుగు సముదాయానికి  ఎలాగోలా తెలియజేయడం వల్ల వాలంటీర్ల సమస్య తీరుతుందని అభిప్రాయాలు  వెల్లడయ్యాయి. ప్రణయ్‌రాజ్ వికీపీడియాలో రాయడం వల్ల ఆత్మతృప్తి, నైపుణ్యం  లభిస్తుందని అయితే ఇతర మాధ్యమాల్లా వెనువెంటనే పేరు ప్రఖ్యాతులు రావడం  సాధ్యం కాదని, అయినా సిద్ధపడి సేవచేస్తున్న వికీపీడియా సముదాయ సభ్యుల  సమున్నత వ్యక్తిత్వం కొనియాడారు. అందరికీ తెలుగులో విజ్ఞానం అన్న తెలుగు  వికీపీడియా ఉద్దేశాన్ని ప్రతిధ్వనిస్తూ తమ గ్రంథాలయాన్ని వేదికగా ఇచ్చి,  చర్చలో పాల్గొన్నందుకు నిర్వాహకుడు పవన్ సంతోష్‌, వికీపీడియా సభ్యులు  కృతజ్ఞతలు తెలిపారు. మిసిమి తరఫున విచ్చేసిన సభ్యులు ప్రతిగా ఒకేలాంటి  లక్ష్యాలు ఉన్నందున తెలుగు వికీపీడియన్లు చేసే కృషి పట్ల తమకున్న ఉన్నత  భావాన్ని వెల్లడించారు.&lt;/p&gt;
