CS depts at Govt Engineering colleges  Trichur and Sreekrishnapuram use completely Free Software --- and many other college CS depts are shifting over ...

One or two enlightened faculty members can make a *lot* of difference - take for example the case of GEC Sreekrishnapuram - the CS dept professors 
there will accept project reports only in LaTeX; simple things like this have a lot of impact.
