Their all-caps title, not mine!  :-)

"In a historic decision, the Indian Government has adopted open source for
its public offices. With acclaimed Indian organizations like C-DAC (Centre
for Development of Advanced Computing) and IIT Chennai working on
Debian based distro BOSS Linux <https://bosslinux.in/> and states like
Tamil Nadu already advocating

<http://deity.gov.in/sites/upload_files/dit/files/policy_on_adoption_of_oss.pdf>
has
been published by the Ministry of Communication & Information Technology
today."
