I think the question regarding outreach is being framed in a wrong light here.The problem seriously is not about "what is the point of spending X hours?". The point is, are we making the most of those hours? Do we as a community need to improve (dumb things down, use better methods) our strategies of communication so that we don't waste a lot of our time and still get results. IMHO, it is way too early to expect 1-2 editors to be recruited out of all such events because Wikipedia movement is  too nascent in India to make immediate sense to people. So, there will be at least 1-2 years of just conversation before everyone knows that "Wikipedia can be edited". That is why I strongly believe that we need to keep doing these sessions.
