FOSSEE Information

FOSSEE (Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Education) project promotes the use of FLOSS tools to improve the quality of education in our country. We aim to reduce dependency on proprietary software in educational institutions. We encourage the use of FLOSS tools through various activities to ensure commercial software is replaced by equivalent FLOSS tools. We also develop new FLOSS tools and upgrade existing tools to meet requirements in academia and research. The FOSSEE project is developed by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and funded by the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), Ministry of Education (formerly MHRD), Government of India.
