I think Wikimedia India chapter should earnestly consider showcasing
the

success in the Indic language projects, the campus ambassador programs
and

Wiki Conference India 2011 at the Kolkata Book Fair 2012. This would
be

a

major outreach program, that would boost the growth of Wikimedia
projects

in India, eastern India and the North East in particular.
Thanks and regards,

Even I agree. This will be a major outreach in terms of Wikimedia
India

Chapter and the Wikipedia Kolkata Community.
Not necessary to promote only bengali Wikipedia but even english
Wikipedia

can be promoted. This is a major outreach and the Chapter really
needs to

look into it.

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 five 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 2012' will be a most valuable way to reach a
very
...
...
...
...
...
large number of well learned persons to increase it's user growth.
It is learned from a verbal reliable source that in 2010 the stall
charge was about Rs. 500/- per squire feet. The minimum space
allotted
...
...
...
of 100 sqft. Apart from the fair space there will be other costs
(viz.
...
...
...
decorations, lights, projector & computers with mobile broadband
etc)
...
...
...
involved to have the exhibition successfully.
I propose for consideration to make a twelve day show to the
'Wikimedia India Chapter' for the exhibition. The detail of the
guild
...
...
...
is placed below:

GUILD HOUSE
2B Jhama Pukur Lane, Kolkata 700 009
