Samadrusti Publications
Samadrusti is a Bhubaneswar based organisation working on issues related to the development sector. Their publications are mostly related to their work in rural Odisha. They have relicensed 3 essay books authored by many authors on notable people and industrial work and issues in rural Odisha (many of which are of interest for Wikipedia as well), a poem collection and a catalogue of books published by them. Some of the books will be shared in the future in the form of digital typeset so there will not be any need for re-typing the books.
