 year undergraduate from NIT Srinagar (National Institute of Technology,
 Srinagar) , India pursuing B.Tech in Information Technology. My project
 for GSoC 2020 is - "Implementation of Edge Contraction technique in 
pgRouting" [1] . I will be implementing Karger's Contraction Algorithm 
as mentioned in my GSoC proposal [2] . <br></div><div>pgRouting does not
 have Karger's Algorithm implemented so the community will be benefited 
by it's implementation. I will be implementing this algorithm and it's 
helper functions in a GitHub fork [3] of 
pgRouting’s GSoC-pgRouting’s repository [4] on my custom branch created 
and will be regularly updating the weekly reports on the project wiki 
[5], which will show my regular progress.</div><div><br></div><div>I 
shall be highly obliged to pgRouting community and OSGeo for giving me 
this opportunity. I will be glad to receive any suggestions and feedback
 from the community.</div><div> <br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Himanshu Raj</div><div>(<a href="https://github.com/rajhim2" target="_blank">https://github.com/rajhim2</a>)</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#6436985213812736" target="_blank">https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#6436985213812736</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rPbksCXtZuYiMP-U837Yabxm3tEoPqnV/view" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rPbksCXtZuYiMP-U837Yabxm3tEoPqnV/view</a></div><div>[3] <a href="https://github.com/rajhim2/GSoC-pgRouting" target="_blank">https://github.com/rajhim2/GSoC-pgRouting</a></div><div>[4] <a href="https://github.com/pgRouting/GSoC-pgRouting/" target="_blank">https://github.com/pgRouting/GSoC-pgRouting/</a></div><div>[5] <a href="https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/wiki/GSoC-2020-Implementation-of-Edge-Contraction-Technique-in-pgRouting" target="_blank">https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/wiki/GSoC-2020-Implementation-of-Edge-Contraction-Technique-in-pgRouting</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
