your email does not say much about whether you have done any programming so assuming you are a newbie, system programming is not exactly the best place to start. this is just my opinion and not meant to discourage you so dont be. its just that the learning curve is *very* steep for newbies and this is where mailing lists like this one, google and other resources can help you.
gives the right training and project to work on , i request to him/her to pass this information to me , it will be go great help to me since i am not aware of any institute in Mumbai .
while learning at an institute is a good way to begin and has its advantages, e.g cisco certification and others, which are more useful if you have already studied CS and want to specialise, otherwise imho, a waste of money (rather spend it on getting a second-hand machine to tinker with).
if you just want to learn linux for fun or want an alternative to windows os, and have not installed linux on your system but want to , ask at the mailing list and someone will help you out. (ofcourse, take a backup of *all* data _before_ tinkering with your system).
get a basic beginners book (second-hand books are avbl at fort and matunga) for unix/linux which has some explanation about the file structure in linux, command line, how the operating system (OS) works, etc.. if you cant find a suitable book try google using specific keywords, and print those pages (you will need it when your system crashes and you dont know what to do).
if you have installed linux (any distro like FC, Gentoo, ...) you can hang out at FC/gentoos mailing list for newbies or whatever they call it and learn.
suppose you have programming experience (or not) go to the site of your installed distro, say gentoo and search for to-do list there . they almost always have some tasks for which they need volunteers (even non-coders can write documentation, maintain packages, etc..), then join that list and sometimes you may get flamed but dont let that intimidate you.
Also i needed guidance on how should i go about it . Is it necessary C/C++ in depth to learn such Linux subjects .
I dont know if you are a programmer or you just want to use linux , but C/C++ is not needed to learn how to use linux, so to speak. Anyone (with little help :-) can use linux very easily.
comeback with linux related questions or anything specific like "i have this os and i want to dual-boot it with linux", etc.. .
Have fun !
