The recognition was awarded to Nitesh by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales during the 20th edition of Wikimania, held at Nairobi, Kenya, under the theme “Inclusivity, Impact, Sustainability.” The annual conference celebrates Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, and the community of volunteers (Wikimedians) who make it possible.

Nitesh was recognised for her exceptional contributions on the Wikimedia projects, particularly for her work in expanding Punjabi Wikipedia and promoting the representation of women on Wikimedia projects.

“I love my language, and that love motivates me to serve and contribute to it in every possible way,” said Nitesh Gill.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
