Dear All,
Greetings from Telugu Wikipedia community and CIS-A2K!
The Language and Culture Department of the Government of Telangana and
Digi”Tel” Telangana organized Conference about “Telangana Culture,
Literature, Language and Festivals in Digital Medium[1]” on October 12 and
13. The event was supported by CIS-A2K where Telugu Wikipedian Pranayraj,
Ajay Bandi and Pavan were part of the event. Some of the outcomes of this
event were:
-
19 Telugu Wikipedians were felicitated by the Government of Telangana
during the event for their effort and contributions on Telugu Wikipedia.

Mamidi Harikrishna, Director of Telangana Language and Culture
Department announced to relicense 8 books into CC-BY license which includes
Magnus opus of the department’s work “Telangana Tejo Murthulu” (Life

of 38 Telangana luminaries into CC-BY license.
