This is excellent!! Many congratulations for all those behind this. I am very sure that this will trigger other players too and will push the Open Knowledge movement, particularly OER, in India.

Kudos to WMI Chapter, Pranav, Savithri and others who made this happen. I see this as an important sign of maturing Wikimedia movement in India.

Congratulations again! This definitely needs celebration!!

Cheers,
Vishnu
