Supporting Indian Wikipedia Program resource distribution
In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program (Code name: Project Tiger) will:
 * (a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and
 * (b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement.

If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects.

 * Last date for submitting applications is 11th February 2018, 11:59 IST.

Please be more careful with workgroup fields on WP India
Hello. Please be more careful when using fields on WikiProject India. I appreciate that the India project has a lot of articles to organise, but you should only be using fields for workgroups that actually exist, and for which a consensus exists. Also, on a technical point, using fields adds a category link to the article and the WP:REDNOT guideline says that you should not be putting anything in a category that does not exist. To give you some idea of the mess you are creating, see the list of red-linked categories. Please, just stop using fields for a moment, and go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject India and establish a consensus for what workgroups they want. Workgroups are not a replacement for the category system, each one represents a significant investment by a WikiProject and they are not to be created lightly. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discourage you from assessing articles for the main project, it's just the casual creation of workgroups and workgroup categories that is something for the Project to decide and not just one editor.
