Hi all, I have just published. The site link http://kerala.skoool.in seems not working. We have to rectify or omit the link Both left-right alignment is not available so the paragraphs are only left aligned. Made few parts bold and also included bullets wherever appropriate. The petition has time bound so it is mentioned in the beginning. Please go through and review for typo and other changes. https://www.change.org/p/petition-for-mandating-use-of-free-and-open-source… ---Milind
