Hello, Baiju.
The USFM looks mostly good, but the title set seems to be in need of editing. Also, proper USFM requires that a paragraph type be started between any chapter mark and the first verse. Normally, this is just a plain paragraph, like \c 1 \p \v 1 ആദിമുതലുള്ളതും ഞങ്ങൾ കേട്ടതും സ്വന്ത കണ്ണുകൊണ്ടു കണ്ടതും ഞങ്ങൾ നോക്കിയതും \v 2 ... Also, the \h, \toc1, \toc2, \toc3, and \mt tags should all be in the vernacular (i.e. Malayalam), and appear in that order. \h is a short title (i.e. "1 John") of the book for running headers and book selection links \toc1 is the long title (i.e. "The First Letter from the Apostle John") \toc2 is the short title (i.e. "1 John") \toc3 is the abbreviation of this book used in footnotes and cross references (i.e. "1 Jn") The \mt set can be used like: \mt2 The First Letter from the Apostle \mt1 John Normally, \h and \toc2 have the same content, give or take capitalization. Normally, \toc1 is the same as all of the \mt# tags concatenated together (but not always, as sometimes translators put both long and short titles in their entirety in those tags) If \toc3 is present, it should be a consistently-used abbreviation or it may be the same as \toc2 if no abbreviations are used.
Hi, I have added few USFM files for Malayalam bible here: https://bitbucket.org/sathyavedapusthakam/svpm Please review the file structure and let me know if any changes required.I have created USFM files for those books which I proofread myself. So it may take more time to complete this work unless more volunteers coming forward to proofread the text.

I am very new here, so I need some pointers to start. I am thinking to use wiki source version as the base. Should I move that source into a different format (non wiki) ? Should I keep it under version control ? Looking forward to your suggestions.

However, my ability to read Malayalam is somewhat nonexistent. One of the links close to the Bottom takes you to individual page views of a PDF which claims on this page: Encoded by Nishad H. Kaippally 1992 From the Orignal Bible Society of India Bible. Please report errors in content to kaippa...@gmail.com It looks like a clean source (from the standpoint of provenance) if this can be verified.
