Something similar has happened in another of Govt of India project by the name R-APDRP for power sector. The original SRS said "An Open Source Version of Operating System is preferred" but as per a clarification issued by MoP/ PFC on 8/7/2009 ( http://72.167.37.52:8090/rapdrp///uploadedfiles/file_1012.pdf see ), that line has been removed from final SRS. 2009/7/27 Guru गुरु <[email protected]> > > Friends > > Since the LAST DATE for giving feedback on the ICT In education policy is 29 > July, can I request we have a cutoff of tomorrow for the feedback on the text > that Sasi shared with us which is on the FOSSCOMM wiki. > > > One of us could also email the FOSSCOMM representation to > [email protected]. > > The email could also be copied to Mr Subhash Khuntia, Joint Secretary MHRD; > and also faxed to him. > > Sh.
