Coimbatore just had one. Yuvipanda was there for 1 day mediawiki workshop.
Read the below, also applies to you and anyone who feels the same.

Well, I have to agree,it was pointed out and something may happen soon. But
then there was a track at FOSS.IN 2010 (a year back). But wait, did you
wait Wikimania at come to your hometown for you to start Wikipedia editing?
No no? So go and get started[1], stay at IRC #mediawiki, *work on
something* be it small or big, know how mediawiki (or other technology
infra beyond it) works, ask for help and people are more than willing to
help and keep doing it. If you feel you could help on organizing one, get
enough "seeds" (Mediawiki seasoned folks) and be bold and do it, even if
its on a smaller scale.

/me holds the temptation to announce something related.

Sumana/Santhosh/Yuvi,

You may want to add more?
