There nothing wrong in contacting VC thought I completely agree to your 
point in spreading awareness to students. Through campaign only we got Free 
Software included in Kerala high school curriculam. Now every school has a 
chice between MS windows and GNU/Linux and MS Office and Open Office. By 
convincing VC of Mysore University we were able to bring in FLOSS in Mysore 
University too.

Anyway enjoy these pics of VTU campus in Belgaum !!!

Top-down and bottom up are two ways of reaching the goal and both has its 
own pros and cons. I don't think it would have been possible to reach the 
large number of students if the curriculam didn't have FLOSS.
