The Dravida Samskruthi Adhyana Kendra also included in different branches of Bhasha Nikaya. Till now we have not done major contribution for Wiktionary. With the help of Dravida Samskrita Adhyana Kendra, we are going to bring the Dravida Nighantu to Wiktionary. The Nighantu (Dictionary) has translated meaning for the word in Kannada with four other Dravidian languages different languages including English. The five languages are Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Tulu, Malayalam. Along with that Dravida Samskruthi Adhyana Kendra have published many books so far. By adding an article about those very important books which would help Wikipedians who would like to refer related to their interest, they can solve their queries and etc. Unfortunately we did not get a good internet connection so we continued to digitize Dravida Nighantu in offline.
