I got a chance to go to Scientific Publishers in jodhpur and did a priliminary
discussion with the them. He looked quite interested. But before we go for
something like this, let us identify people who are willing to contribute
papers/writeup, editorial support, etc.

We need to invite people for this, form a proper Editorial board, work out the
financial modalities involved. Over this weekend I will do some homework on a
few more publishers. If possible can you also find out what's the scenario in
Jaipur. There are a few good publishers like Pointer Publishers, Printwell
Publishers and a few more which can be contacted in Jaipur. Probably a phone
call will do initially.

I also request all the members to please come up with suggestions. This has to
be a team work. Let's all discuss and work it out.

Cheers,
-Tarun
