Marathi Fortnight is celebrated in Maharashtra from 14-28 January and Language Day on 27 February. Every year we conduct workshops in the state. This year it was not possible due to pandemic. So, we planned a re-licensing appeal campaign on these occasions. The appeals were sent to various groups, authors, heirs/copyright holders, publishing houses, NGOs etc. The links of previous content donations were circulated. In the period, we got encouraging responses from five authors. They have handed over 12 books for scanning and further processing. The OTRS process is being completed by copyright holders. In January, five books were processed and uploaded on Commons. The authors and their works include -
- Madhav Gadgil - Category:Books by Madhav Gadgil

- Mrunalini Phadnavis - Book on Commons
