The A2K team has recently met Bengali wikipedians in Kolkata.[1] Based on our interaction we have worked on preparing an annual work plan on Bengali Wikipedia [2] and reposted on Meta.[3] We'd request you all to share your feedback on the talk page of the work plan [4] regarding the work plan which would help to plan various different activities (Institutional collaboration for resource building, meetups and outreach for community building).
http://tagoreweb.in/, SNLTR's hosted instance and http://sarat-rachanabali.becs.ac.in/ are limited in their utility that they provide no means of using the text as a corpus or, trainer. These are efforts worthy of appreciation. However, providing the means for others to re-use the content as opposed to passive browser based viewing is equally important.
I hope your assessment included that fact. Plus, I am always wary when I read statements like "SNLTR has established that Unicode 5.0 and above as the standard that can be adopted for different e-governance applications and is also in parity with the international practice and standard". In my limited understanding of how standardization does happen, this is not the case.
