Dear Sir,
The 'Kolkata Book Fair' has been organized by the 'Publishers & Booksellers Guild' is one of the most prestigious and active cultural event in India for last thirty six years. It is the world's largest non-trade book fair, Asia's largest book fair and the most attended book fair in the world. Other than books it houses television, radio and other multimedia companies as well.
I think that, the presence of Wikipedia in physically to the coming 'Kolkata Book Fair 2013' will be a most valuable way to reach a very large number of well learned persons to increase it's user growth.
We applied last year and some meetings were held with them, they asked Rs: 2 Lakhs for 100 sqr ft. which could not be arranged, apart from the other costs (viz.decorations, lights, projector & computers with mobile broadband etc) involved to have the exhibition successfully.
I propose to host a twelve day show to the 'Wikimedia India Chapter' for the exhibition. The detail of the guild is placed below:
Please note the last date of application is 17 September, 2012. *********************** GUILD HOUSE 2B Jhama Pukur Lane, Kolkata 700 009 West Bengal, India Telephone: +91-33-2360 4588, 2354 4417 Fax: +91-33-2360 4566 http://www.kolkatabookfair.net/index.php ************************
