Support details

Support type

What type of support you need

• Chromebook : No, Not needed
• Internet : Yes, needed

Reason

Why do you need this support (Internet)

• I could not reply back to the readers/prospective writers or readers over Wikipedia discussions page and social media platforms on time due to limited connectivity.
• Due to poor internet connection, many times long written articles get lost and I had to re-write everything from the beginning. This can get solved.
• By getting fast Internet connectivity I can create/improve more contents, upload more photos/videos to Commons, reply queries of the readers on social media platforms in minimum to zero latency and do many more contributions for Odia language and communities.

Do you have a working laptop?

• Yes, I have.

Had you received the support in the first iteration of Project Tiger?

• No

Future activities

How will you use this in the next six months? I will:

• improve/create more articles on Odia Wikipedia.
• Promote more on social media.
• Upload more photos on Commons.
• Participate more on queries and discussions.
• And many more activities, I will update my utilization reports Bimonthly on this page.
