Dear Wikimedians, 


On behalf of A2K, I would like to provide some updates about our ongoing 
activities and team composition. 


We would like to inform you that the Mula Mutha Nadi Darshan 2023 campaign is 
currently underway and will continue until the end of June. This campaign aims 
to document the Mula and Mutha rivers, along with their tributaries in the Pune 
district, on Wikimedia Commons through images and videos contributed by active 
citizens. A2K is collaborating with the Pune River Revival group of active 
citizens & civil society organisations. Jeevitnadi and the Ecological Society 
are leading the campaign. If you are interested in participating, please join 
us at [ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Mula_Mutha_Nadi_Darshan_2023 
| https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Mula_Mutha_Nadi_Darshan_2023 ] . 


In other news, the annual proposal of A2K is currently under review by the 
South Asia Regional Grants Committee. You can find the proposal here: [

 ] . 


Regarding our program, I would like to update you that CIS-A2K is currently 
conducting a structural review of the support we provide to communities through 
our request page, due to regulatory and organizational concerns. As a result, 
we have to temporarily pause the support through the request page until further 
notice. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. 


We have some updates regarding our team. Pavan Santhosh has recently joined 
CIS-A2K as the Program Manager, where he will closely collaborate with Indian 
language Wikimedia communities. Pavan is an experienced Wikipedian with a 
decade-long association with Indian language Wikimedia projects. Prior to 
joining CIS-A2K, he served as a Community Manager and Global Legal Support 
Specialist at Quora and previously worked as a Community Advocate in A2K. 
Tanveer Hasan has joined CIS as our new Executive Director. Tanveer previously 
worked with A2K as the Program Manager from 2016-2018 and later held various 
roles at the Wikimedia Foundation, including Senior Program Manager for the 
Community Resources Team. We extend a warm welcome to both Pavan and Tanveer. 


We are excited about the upcoming activities and collaborations with Indian 
Wikimedia communities. 


Best Regards, 




Subodh Kulkarni 
Sr Program Officer
