Dear All,

I have a good news.  Please see in the attachment a copy of the letter sent by Mr. N. K. Sinha, IAS, Additional Secretary (TEL), Department of Higher Education, MHRD to AICTE and Directors and VCs of Central Universities.

In this, Mr. Sinha suggests that the academic institutions should explore open source equivalent for academic, administrative and financial requirements, before going to proprietary solutions.

We should spread this word. 
Regards.

Kannan
