Hi Manish

Your mail mentions expertise required in MS Excel, word and powerpoint. These are proprietary software applications - which are forbidden to being shared or modified by anyone other than the vendor.  On the other hand there are 'public software' alternatives to MS Office - such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice. OpenOffice being public software is freely shareable (no license fees) and its philosophy is aligned to that of 'public institutions' - of sharing resources for the common good.

Software as an 'intangible' resource is 'non rivalrous' meaning it can be shared without any reduction in its availability for others. Only by using publicly owned software resources, can we ensure its access to all. All the proprietary software applications used in NGOs have public software alternatives that are technically comparable (see http://public-software.in/taxonomy/term/38/all for public software alternatives to popular proprietary applications).

regards,
Guru

see http://public-software.in/Posters for some catchy principles on why we should all adopt and promote public software ....

Dear Friends 

Please sign this petitionhttp://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nationaldalitforum/

You may aware that the planning commission appointed a Task force to study the implementation of Scheduled Castes Sub Plan and Tribal Sub Plan and give recommendations. Subsequently, the Task Force submitted its first report on 25 November 2010. These recommendations will legitimize the actions of non allocation of funds to SCSP and TSP by  ministries / departments.

The report excludes 40 Ministries / Departments in the case of Scheduled caste and 43 in the case of Scheduled Tribes from making any efforts for their development

Responsibilities of 10 Ministries / Departments will be lessened

Only 9 Ministries / Departments will continue the status quo

Only responsibilities of 6 Ministries / Departments will be enhanced

They are totally against to the principles of Scheduled Castes Sub Plan and Tribal Sub Plan as envisioned by Mrs. Indira Gandhi Jee.

Accounting of Scheduled Castes Sub Plan and Tribal Sub Plan for National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and Indira Aawaaz Yojana etc to the extent of SCs and STs is against the concept, as is was in addition to the general welfare / developmental schemes by the government.

They ultimately legitimizes the debate of indivisibility of funds by ministries / departments there by non allocation of funds under Scheduled Castes Sub Plan and Tribal Sub Plan 

Please sign this petition http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nationaldalitforum/
