Unfortunately I , myself on board in Wikimedia Chapter ( Executive
committee Member!). Personally I am very much attached with Wikimedia
movement in India. Actually that's not a big deal.
:-)
Well, you could contact as Wikimedia India the DLI, and try to set up a
partnership.
I follow the below workflow...
1) Download books from Digital Library of India ( single page single tif
file).
Maybe you can use a script to download all the TIFF files of a book. Put
them in a single folder, sorted. Zip that folder as I said
(FILENAME_images.zip). The IA software will do all the rest: it will make
you a PDF, a DJVU, everything by itself. the trick is giving him all the
single images in a zip folder with that name.
2) Upload as PDF (You can put them in a zipped file
and upload
everything on Internet Archive with the namefile "FILENAME_images.zip".
Then the software will do everything by itself. This is good for me.) Let's
try next time. But when I upload as PDF , I cannot find any DJVU file.
3)Transfer file in commons.
https://toolserver.org/~tpt/iaUploadBot/step1.php this utility is only
for upload DJVU file. ( If I upload "FILENAME_images.zip" at
archive.org,
Are they converted as DJVU?)
Then, as IA has finished, you take the id (not of the djvu, but of the book
itself on IA: for example, here (
https://archive.org/details/fioannisnauarrog00nava) the id is "
fioannisnauarrog00nava <https://archive.org/details/fioannisnauarrog00nava>
".
Then everything is ok.

Hi Jayanta,
I now understand you have a deeper problem than I thought.
My advice would be to seek for a collaboration with the Digital Library
of India, or with Wikimedia India (
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Main_Page)
and ask them to help you in transferring those file.
I still think the better workflow is to
1. upload the files in Internet Archive. If you have tiff files, this is
perfect.
You can put them in a zipped file and upload everything on Internet
Archive with the namefile "FILENAME_images.zip". Then the software will do
everything by itself.
This is very good as Internet Archive is great at converting files, doing
OCR and stuff like that. You can find the instructions here too:
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Help:DjVu_files#The_Internet_Archive
2. when everything is ready (all the files are created), go with
https://toolserver.org/~tpt/iaUploadBot/step1.php :
you put the id inside, and it will upload the file on Commons.
3. you're set: you go on Wikisource and create the Index.

Hi Zanni,
On Indian context of Indian pint of view, Books are not readily
available in
Archive.org or google book. We have a great resource at Digital
Library of India] ( All Indic language books available). As like others
India Govt website , this site same issue about poor Navigations, Online
reading, downloading, Server error/down etc. They have just dump as tif
file. So we can't do better proofread as like EN.WS. I know this not
the right place to state, can any developers works for us, to upload books
from Digital Library of India to commons or Wikimedia WS project domain?
I am using
https://toolserver.org/~tpt/iaUploadBot/step1.php and
https://tools.wmflabs.org/url2commons/ both. Fist one is only for DJVU
file. Some of our Indic language books not available in DJVU file in
Archive.org.

Hi Jayanta,
have you ever tried to use this tool from our beloved wizard Tpt?
https://toolserver.org/~tpt/iaUploadBot/step1.php
It is very simple and useful.
