[x-post] Petition for MHRD to include Open Source in New Education Policy

[Rushabh Mehta]

Dear all,

The Ministry of HRD is inviting comments on the New Education Policy Draft that was recently published.

Surprisingly and to much disappointment there is no emphasis on using Free and Open Source for IT tools for education.

To this effect Prof Milind Oka has drafted a petition to the Minister to rectify this. More details in the petition:

https://www.change.org/p/petition-for-mandating-use-of-free-and-open-source-software-in-new-education-policy-2016

Please sign it if you believe that Free and Open Source software must be given emphasis and please do share this so we can raise more awareness on this issue.

Thanks!

Rushabh
