T. Vishnu Vardhan Programme Director, Access To Knowledge, Centre for Internet and Society Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Help us make it a reality! I have met the enthusiastic bunch of Odia Wikipedians in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack on March 16 and 17, 2013. I feel there is a huge possibility for the Odia Wikipedia to grow by leaps and bounds. To all friends from Odia Wikipedia, do not hesitate to call/write to me if you need any help in achieving your collective goal. *ALL THE BEST MY DEAR ODIA WIKIPEDIANS*
