Dr. Subas Chandra Rout
It is with great sadness that we share that the Odia community has lost a valued contributor, Dr. Subas Chandra Rout, who passed away on 10 March following a brief illness.
Dr. Rout began contributing to Odia Wikipedia at the age of 68 and remained an active contributor for the past 14 years. During this time, he consistently added new content, significantly enriching the project, creating more than 3,500 articles, including over 2,500 articles on medical topics.
He also participated in several movement initiatives, including Wiki Project Med, where he was among the leading contributors in South Asia. As one of the top contributors to medical content worldwide, he received The Cure Award from Wiki Project Med for eight consecutive years.
On behalf of the Odia Wikipedia community, we extend our condolences to Dr. Rout's friends and family. His contributions to Odia Wikipedia are valued.
His contributions to the Wikimedia movement and to the availability of knowledge in Odia will be remembered. The Odia Wikimedians User Group invites those with condolences to share them on his user talk page.
