Summary of Participation

I was a speaker at the National Seminar on Science and Archaeology, where I delivered my talk on "हिंदी विकिपीडिया द्वारा विज्ञान प्रसार में प्रयास" or "Efforts in science dissemination by Hindi Wikipedia". It was great to meet people,students from different fields. Sharing the noble cause of Wikimedia foundation  to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free, multilingual, educational content, and to providing the full content of these wiki-based projects to the public free of charge and how Hindi Wikipedia is helping the society in spreading free knowledge in almost every field, especially in the field of Science and Archaeology. I also introduced other sister projects of Wikimedia like Commons, Wikisource, Wikibooks and also gave brief introduction about GLAM,and Wikimedia Education Program.
