Thank you, Ravi and Isaac!| I'm happy to share that, continuing the collaboration with the Odia community, Today, the Government of Odisha has announced to release the content of two major departments; Information and Public Relations and ST & SC Development, Minorities & Backward Classes Welfare Dept. under Creative Commons license. Both the department has a huge collection of content and will help in improving a lot of Wikipedia articles. It was announced by the I&PR dept. and also by the Chief Minister's Office, https://twitter.com/CMO_Odisha/status/947838684874792960. The required changes will be made in the upcoming week.
