which says among other things,

 The Department of Information Technology has already devised a
 strategy to introduce Linux and open source software as a de-facto
 standard in academic institutions, especially in engineering colleges
 through course work that encourages use of such systems.
 
 Research establishments would be advised to use and develop
 re-distributable toolboxes just as Central government departments and
 state governments would be asked to use Linux-based offerings.
