The open-source movement is surpassing more and more often as an undercurrent in the busy flow of discussion swirling around software development in higher education. Most often it comes up for mansion as a response to the increasing predomination of commercial, proprietery software in use on campuses. As operating systems, development tools, desk top applications, and enterprise software all have become large, complicated, and expensive, an increasing number of IT professionals are looking for not just alternative products and sources, but at a different way to develop and support software. It open-source fulfill its proponents' hopes to even a modest degree,

the effect on IT practices in higher education will be substantial. Open-source can be defined as an approach to software development and intellectual property in which program code is unavailable to all participants and can not be modified by any of them. Those modifications are then distributed back to the community of developers working with the soft ware. In this methodology, licensing serves primarily to discontinue the identities of all the participants, documenting the development of the code and the originators of changes, enhancements, and derivative off-shots.

Open Source Movement Indian are a group of pupil aiming to contribute towards employment growth economic development of India via increasing the IT market share of India from to over 50%. Currently we are only an advocacy group and are not involved in implementation at all. We are spread the word to the night people and expect them to take advantage of the opportunity. This is the idea on basis of which this group was founded and hence the name of the group. We strongly believe that this small and simple idea can be converted into a revolution with little support from each one of us. There is an noticeable increase in use of open source software in the industry these days. We don't think we need to prove that point. The idea is if we can train students at an early age to join this phenomenon then India can be a leading player in the open source software revaluation. Extremely large know ledge base of open source software will ensure our dominance in the open source arial and will ultimately ensure your position as the market leader of the IT industry.
