Talk:Grants/Bidar Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

I participated in the event accepting the invitation from Omshivaprakash and Bidar Wikipedia Community. They have done fabulous work there and the coordination between the local district administration and local interest groups is a good model to be emulated. Lot of ground work has been already done since last year using their own money and bulk of the budget for this event was taken care by the Tourism ministry (venue, food for participants for two days) and local district administration (stay and transport). In this context, I see this nominal travel grant request only as a symbolic opportunity to be associated with Kannada Wikimedia community. I highly recommend that this grant request be funded. --Ravi 15:36, 30 April 2015 (IST)
