Dear FreeSouls,
The Human Resource Development (HRD) minister of India, Dr. Pallam Raju has endorsed the 'Human Values' as essential action point during second international conference on ''Human Values in Higher Education' at IIIT Hyderabad, India. The final recommendations of the conference urge Ministry of HRD to introduce and support instruction, project and research work in this area. Some work has already started but they feel that a lot more has to be done. http://online.uptu.ac.in/CollegeLogin_N/upload/882igm210x1.pdf Ministry of HRD is already funding various projects related to software freedom - one crucial project is Spoken Tutorial @IIT Bombay. Can we ask the Ministry of HRD to consider the principles of Software Freedom in all their endeavors of 'Human Values' to be taught to teachers and in turn to students?
