Project idea

What language Wikipedia projects will you promote to new readers?

English

How will you communicate with new readers? Will you be communicating with them online, in-person, or both?

Holding presentations at Schools/ Colleges.

I still need to work on that one.

How will you know if this project is successful? What are some outcomes that you can share after the project is completed?

If you’re not certain about how to respond to this question when starting your idea, you do not need to answer it right now. Campaign participants and Wikimedia Foundation staff can help you consider some options.
Increased edits on wikipedia pages concerning subjects in the school syllabi, increased visits to such pages, correspondence from schools/ students to self (which i shall forward to wikipedia for information)

Do you think you can implement this idea? What support do you need?

Do you need people with specific skills or resources to complete this idea? Are there any financial needs for this project? Do you need advising from Wikimedia Foundation staff?
This is only an idea. I do not have either the means to implement it. I also cannot commit definitive timelines for the same. However, I can grow up the idea taking one subject/ topic at a time. Again, I should be able to take one one topic and complete it in about two weeks time.
