Petition for mandating use of Free and Open Source in New Education Policy Draft circulated by Government of India

For the first time, the Government of India is embarking on a time-bound grassroots consultative process, which will enable the Ministry of HRD to reach out to individuals across the country through over 2.75 lakh direct consultations while also taking input from citizens online.

Here is the draft policy http://mhrd.gov.in/nep-new

In reference to this, we find it strange that the government has not included the mandate for schools to use Free and Open Source Software. Not only is Free Software cost effective, there are many other benefits.

What are your parameters to decide strategic / non-strategic code or apps when releasing to OSS? Assuming one would only release non-strategic stuff.

No we release everything! The premise of open source is to give away.

What we don't release is our cloud platform. We are also in process of building a non-open source app, unrelated to our core application ERPNext, which will complement the open source one,

When did you first release code under OSS?
