Dear all, There is one more day left for participating in the first online edit-a-thon happening in connection with International women's day celebrations in India. Thirteen new articles have been created as a part of the edit-a-thon. Volunteers from Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi have initiated edit-a-thons in their respective languages and have produced wonderful results so far.
