*'''''Welcome'''''. It has been weeks and months since the idea of newsletter was mooted among the WikiProject India Community. This would be our first full-fledged edition of our Newsletter, and we'd like to start by saying we are very happy to have you among us.

*This is your newsletter, and we want you to be part of it as well. Provide us with news tips [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Outreach/Newsletter/Newstips|here]]. It can be anything related to the project, from discussions to calls for help, and other interesting stuff within our community. If you have received or given any barnstars recently, do let us know.

*Advertisements for recruitments within your WikiProject sub-groups are also welcome. We'll run special sections, and recurring columns in the coming issues.

*'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian maps|Cartography Department]] (Shortcut:[[WP:INMAP]]):''' The [[WP:INMAP|Department of Cartography]] within the [[WP:INDIA|WikiProject India]] is a group of wikipedians who work on providing quality maps related to [[India]]. Their contributions gain more significance as we try to provide more information on places, districts and states of India. As a thumb rule, maps serve better if they are in [[SVG|SVG format]]. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Indian_maps#Using_locator_maps|location maps]] by the cartography department has helped us include location information based on latitudes and longitudes for a give place within India. The [[w:Image:India_roadway_map.svg|Indian Roadways map]] is a featured image, one amongst the few best road maps in the world. Still, there is more work to be done. There are 604 [[districts of India|districts]] in India (see [[List of districts of India]]), and each district page needs a map of that district. You can help too. Contact the Cartography Department to learn how you can help in making the best maps in Wikipedia to be India-related!
