I support the proposal. <div><br></div><div>I think Wikimedia India chapter should earnestly consider showcasing the success in the Indic language projects, the campus ambassador programs and Wiki Conference India 2011 at the Kolkata Book Fair 2012. This would be a major outreach program, that would boost the growth of Wikimedia projects in India, eastern India and the North East in particular.</div>

Even I agree. This will be a major outreach in terms of Wikimedia India<br>
Chapter and the Wikipedia Kolkata Community.<br>
<br>
Not necessary to promote only bengali Wikipedia but even english Wikipedia<br>
can be promoted. This is a major outreach and the Chapter really needs to<br>
look into it.<br>
