I support the proposal.
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, Kalyan Sarkar

+1 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 West Bengal, India Telephone: +91-33-2360 4588, 2354 4417 Fax: +91-33-2360 4566 E-mail: guild@cal2.vsnl.net.in,pbguild@vsnl.net http://www.kolkatabookfaironline.com/index.php
With regards.
