[edit ]What type of support you need
- Laptop
Reason
[edit ]I have written most of the articles (on Wikinews, and other sister projects) from my cellphone, or computers available in library, and even asking other people for their laptop so that I can make contributions. Currently the laptop which I use would crash every ten minutes, making it extremely difficult to edit for longer duration.
Future activities
[edit ]I would continue writing articles as soon as I get one. That has been the plan for ever -- write articles get it published. However, I also intend to write articles for Hindi Wikinews so that it goes live before 2019. Typing in Hindi is not that hard, but typing on a system which crashes every now and then, I just can not do it with my current device.

- Support Support. This is a technically advanced and responsible candidate. I can confirm that Internet and hardware are interfering with their access to surfing the web and editing the wikis, as well as technical work required by these wikis. --Gryllida 22:17, 10 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

- Support Support He is the only active Wikinewsie in India. I recently met him in person at an event and learnt about his contributions as well as the issues he faces. Considering that he goes out of pocket to cover news, writes and edits articles, and mentors new contributors, he is deserving of this infrastructural support. -- Rohini (talk) 19:05, 17 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
