Bhubaneswar: The development authority has partnered with the Centre for Internet and Society - Access to Knowledge (CIS-A2K) to create content on city-based sites.

As part of this, they have received 193 articles by 26 editors in 13 languages.

These languages include German, Bengali, Sinhalese, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Punjabi, Hindi and Azerbaijani among others.

"Topics related to Odisha are not well-represented on the Internet. So, we wanted to increase the reach. They have been written professionally with at least five references," said Odia Wikipedian Sailesh Patnaik.

The development authority is also partnering with CIS-A2K for QRpedia Project, a first of its kind in India, that installs QR codes at sites of historical importance in the city. These QR codes direct visitors to the Wikipedia page of the site in the language of their choice.
