I am very much excited to kick off this idea. The idea is to build a Free Software for  Schools in Kerala. In other words, this is to help teachers ( or office staff) to administer their schools properly and to give a technical life to educational systems in our state.My mother works as Head Mistress in a Govt. U.P School. I have been seeing her working late night writing reports, preparing account stuffs, promotion lists and all those useful ( rather useless ) stuffs. So, I was planning to implement a solution for this by developing a software for handling all these things efficiently.

So, here is a rough draft of the proposal.There may be flaws in this write up since these are random ideas which came into my mind when I discussed with my mother. 

My plan is to build the application using C++ and Qt ( UI ), a MySQL database for storing the informations. Qt will make User Interface more eye candy using KDE 4 style.Application is to contain modules that will handle both Academic works and Office works. I would like to implement academic stuff in first phase and gradually get into office works. The basic need is to store the student information with photographs, all details of academic performance, handle the admission procedure, a tool to handle Transfers etc. Report Generator is a necessity and this should be able to generate reports based on any key ( like name, class, cast/religion or any other custom formats ). I emphasize this as a necessity since I have seen my mother preparing these reports by-hand for their head offices.

The above said is just a plan; we may implement more stuff into it ( for eg, indic support, managing office staff details, bills, letter preparing tool etc.. and many more…). I would like to receive comments and suggestions from the community to make this a success. A detailed road map of this poject will be available soon after receiving the exact requirement sheet from the concerned.
