Publicity about Documentation

Before the project began, social media was effectively utilized to publicize the initiative. The official Assamese Wikimedia Group Instagram page played a key role in spreading awareness about the project. Team members, along with several Assamese Wikimedians, also shared information about the project on their personal social media profiles. This early publicity helped generate increased interest and engagement from the community, creating a solid foundation for the project's success. Additionally, a newspaper article was published in a daily newspaper, highlighting the documentation work being undertaken, which helped further promote the project to a wider audience.
