Total numbers of personal computers in working computers at present. 4. Total number of personal computers running on free and open source operating system

I filed in DIT section hoping that DIT will approve all purchases in mantralaya hence I will get total expediture in mantralaya. But it seems they have given purchases only in DIT. But then how 31 PC's require 2,45,69296/- Rs Software ?

This has been violated seriously for last three years.
