I also, talked with Pravin sir, He is very interested to support FOSS, he is willing to provide his support in various area of FOSS like organizing foss training to teachers, advocating about independent curriculum in schools (not specific Windows, microsoft word etc..), organizing install fest and he can contribute for SFD also..
Person like Pravin sir, and institute like Brihaspati School are most important to promote FOSS in nepal, and other organizations and person are interested to contribute on it, therefore we have to make a working model in collaboration with them.
