Position Statement/Letter of intent (in not more than 200 words):

I have started believing in the collective wisdom of community and do feel inspired by it. I have immense love for science. I am interested in articles of Indian Scientists and Indian freedom fighters. I believe that I will be able to contribute to it. I have created and contributed more than 20 medical articles on Marathi Wikipedia.

I believe that I do understand the spirit of voluntarism as I have experience of voluntary works like surgeries for poor people of village and tribal people at SEARCH, Gadchiroli since last 5 years and gain lot of satisfaction from it. I think that giving proper information to people at proper time is like giving medicine to cure the disease of ignorance.

I believe that Wikipedia is platform to percolate values like science and freedom of expression in society and I would be grateful to work for it. It will be a feeling of thrill, fun and responsibility to work in the executive committee of a community which helps to share knowledge. I would like to work for inspiring and bringing more people to be benefited and to contribute to cause of Wikipedia.

Community can surely rely on me for my impartial and truthful behavior.
