From the inception of NITC (REC) We have had multiple events and significant occasion happening in campus. Yet only a few of the images / photographs of the same are publicly available. Countless photographs have been lost and will never see daylight again. As a solution to this the Wiki NITC encourages users ie NITC Students and others to proactively upload as many images of significance to the Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia Commons Provide Free and Unlimited storage to any Photographs (Read More in the link attatched above) and collecting and uploading images of events ranging from the smallest club, cultural events to Tathva and Ragam ensures that they remain accessible throughout time.

I personally believe using commons instead of solutions like Google Drive to store Event Photographs will be benificial for us as a community. I've had first hand experience serving in the media Committee of Tathva and Ragam that a large number of Images related to both these events have been Lost.

I Once again request you all to please checkout Wikimedia Commons and start uploading images.
