Dear All
The Maharashtra Police seems to be going in for large scale computerization. They have issued a tender notice for 1500 PCs, UPS and modems, with Linux as the OS [tender specification reads: "Linux operating System – latest version (along with Devnagiri script and Open Office Suite.) with latest Service Pack (preloaded) license and recovery CD media with every PC and compatible Antivirus software"].
The notice is available at http://www.maharashtra.gov.in/data/tender/document/2003/08/27/20030827164638....
No details of the computerization programme itself seem available, though.
