Budget Hotels

edit

Hi Parthada, Please provide some budget hotel options in the accommodation section of the event page, if possible, because some students from outside Bengal are contacting, who were enquiring about budget affordable hotels. Thanks. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 17:26, 6 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Bodhisattwa, The second section that provides the "Some more hotels" can be a place to look for. Besides, to me in Kolkata approx. Rs.900/head is reasonable. If you are in the same view then you can check, Waylink Guest House & Banquet, Deepalay Guesthouse or Harry Inn can be a choice. Moreover, if one can get a reasonable reservation in Sahajog International, Mandira Guest House or Ritesh Evergreen Inn then there will be no commuting cost as they are just besides J.U. - Pasaban (talk) 08:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello Pasaban!

We are sending you this message as you have signed up as a general member of the West Bengal Wikimedians User Group. We would like to inform you that the user group has organized its 2024 Annual General Meeting of Representative Members yesterday at the Birla Industrial & Technological Museum, Kolkata. In this meeting, we have adopted revised bylaws based on the feedback and suggestions coming from our members (see changes) and selected 10 new Representative Members based on the objective criteria set in the bylaws with regards to their recent or overall online and offline contributions. A new Representative Committee has also been formed while replacing 3 out of 5 members, who have completed their full term tenure for this responsibility. The participants have also shared learning from the projects taken from previous year and shared plans about new projects which they are willing to take during this year on behalf of the user group. We are also introducing a mentorship program from this year, where willing general members can work together with our program leads in user group programs and learn from each other. So, stay tuned for more excitements!

Regards,
Bodhisattwa
