Leaving that aside, We (Myself and Satish Eerpini , the Fedora Ambassador of Secunderabad) are planning to conduct an event under LUG(Linux User Group)@VIT for Freshmen to create awareness about Fedora Project. We are Planning to do as an Event where the Fedora Ambassadors can come and Speak about their Experience on using Fedora and Linux in general. We have planned to Invite someone form the Fedora Commitee to come aswell. Regarding the accomodation for the commitee members, we will take care. We just need you guys to come to our college and share your valuable Experience with us. This way, we would like to promote fedora at our college and aswell get freshers knowing the power of open source.

As an alternative to spending on a member from the Fedora Committee(s) or Boards, you could consider having a video conference. Paul did that for the NIT Calicut meet and by all reports it was a success.
Additionally, there are a significant number of developers and contributors to Fedora out of India who would be an excellent resource pool to talk, demonstrate and share insights into Fedora as a project and as a community.
Hop on to #fedora-india on any given Sunday at around 1830 hours India time for regular meetings and exchange of notes.
