I will suggest forwarding to respective language wiki mailing list, in
addition to city mailing lists to reach the target audience.
Arjuna, This is already done. The mail is sent to various Indic language lists also.

Dear Indic wikimedians,
Thank you very much for the welcome messages and for making me feel at home.
Over the past few years I have interacted with many of you for the
various Indic Wiki related activities and we have done many successful
projects. Thank you very much for all those wonderful projects. Now when
we are moving to a different phase of growth of Wikimedia in India, I
request more support from your side.
To get started we shall together develop a plan for Indic language wikis
and design few pilot projects to gain learnings to drive growth. I
propose to develop this plan collaboratively and openly - in true wiki
style. This will include focused Indic language meetups, virtual
meetings, desk research and constantly synthesizing the findings from
all of these into learnings. These learnings will then flow into pilots
that we will implement and review and learn from.
For this purpose, I will be using the following page
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_Languages.
It is very preliminary right now - but will keep updating it. The page
will give you a flavor of the kind of process and methodology I plan to
use - and also give you a hint of the end output. However, I stress
that is nothing more than a stub right now. So please provide your
suggestions.

Nice to see the detailed approach.
I will suggest forwarding to respective language wiki mailing list, in addition to city mailing lists to reach the target audience.
Best wishes
