In the series of Distinguished Talk by renowned speakers, an Invited Talk on “India and Self-

reliance in IT” was organized by CSI-Student Branch @ Department of IT on 09th January,

2013 at the institute. Professor-CSE, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, Chairman, CSI-Division III

(Applications), Ex-Minister in IT, Wet Bangal and President Free Software Movement in India,

Dr. Debesh Das was the invited speaker on this occasion. Besides teaching, he was very much

involved in Research with special interest in VLSI design, VLSI testing, Logic Synthesis, etc.

and is having 23 years experience in this particular field. He was a visiting Professor of Asian

Institute of Technology, Bangkok. He visited different countries like USA, Italy, China, Cana-

da, Denmark and many more for research studies and presentations.

While addressing the gathering, Dr. Das

emphasized on the usage of Free Software

and told that we should not go for Proprie-

tary Software and stop using the licensed

s/w. He told why Microsoft is not taking

any action against usage of pirated soft-

ware in India that it is the policy on how

to make people habitual of using their s/w

and later on by compulsion they have to

purchase it. He enlightened us several ad-

vantages of using Free Software like that we have complete control on every part of the soft-

ware being used, have complete permission to change the same if it is required and if we face

any of the problem in doing so then there are so many peoples in the world who are there for

the support. Dr. Das also informed that we should be free to use the software, its applications,

its permission and to enhance its capabilities as per our needs and this flexibility is not availa-

ble with the proprietary software. Dr. Das also informed that there are some other good

MNC’s like TCS, HCL and other software companies who are developing their applications

using free software technologies just because of having flexibility of permission to work as per

our requirements and promoting the development on this platform. Dr. Das ended his talk with

the sentence “Freedom cannot be Stopped”.
