Thanks, Viswa.
I too have reached out to him over the phone and assured of support and
assistance where required.
Best,

I had called Nehal immediately after seeing his mail.
I have also
explained in detail about the provisions and options for the pictures
uploadable onto Wikimedia eco-system.
In fact, Nehal seems to be in a position to facilitate releasing a bulk
load of
images presently controlled / copyrighted by his state government.
What he needs is some expert advice / assistance on how to go about it in
the most proper way.
Vishnu, could you please look into this matter? Thanks.

If yes,
do you know who has the copyright for that image? If yes, you can
encourage that particular person to upload onto to Commons or take his/her
permission (there is a particular form, which could be shared) before
uploading it on to Commons. This is slightly complex.
