This event was jointly orgainsed by a Hindi Wikipedian User:Mayur and a Malayalam Wikipedian user:shijualex. The event was held at Sarai - CSDS in Civil Lines, Delhi, and a general introduction to Hindi Wikipedia was provided, followed by a discussion on how to edit.

FAQ Release
With some inspiration from the Malayalam Wikimedian community, Hindi Wikipedians released their first version of FAQs during the first Hindi Wikipedia workshop. The production of the FAQs owes a lot to the help of Shijualex and Junaid PV; the Hindi guide was largely prepared by Mayur.

Indic Admins Survey
In May 2011, Hindi Wikipedia conducted a survey of Top Indic Sysops. This survey list was prepared by Hindi Wikipedian Mayur. The survey results suggested that the total number of sysop actions were highest in Malayalam Wikipedia with Hindi Wikipedia coming in second. One hindi Wikipedian Mayur placed among the top ten Indic Wikipedia Administrators with the highest number of admin activities, and most places among top ten Adminstrators were held by the Malayalam Wikipedian Community. Purpose of the Survey was to  encourage users to perform more admin Activities to Control vandalism and Copy right content as a Wikiproject having more no. of Sysop action would be handling vandalism in a more effective way. Whole list was prepared from "http://toolserver.org/~vvv/adminstats.php".

Typing Tool
When Hindi Wikipedia moved to the New Vector theme, along with many other Indic languages, it was one of the first Indian language Wikipedias to establish a typing tool for the vector screen. Junaid PV helped us install a complete Indic typing solution in Hindi.
