Manoj -- Please get in contact with NTC and point them at
http://www.debian.org/mirror/
which has instructions for people who want to set up mirrors
and
http://www.debian.org/mirror/official
discusses how to become an official country-wide mirror.
You can buy Debian DVDs from many places; the ones listed here:
http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/
who ship internationally are marked as such.
