Hi Aubrey
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.
I follow the below workflow...
1) Download books from Digital Library of India ( single page single tif file).
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?)

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
- 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
- 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.
- 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.

This is great!!! Sometimes its impossible to every time download from AI, Google books 100MB file and again upload to commons 100MB file. I am from India, internet is very slow!!! It will help me lots!!
