Santanu Sinha (from iLUG-Cal and other places) has been trying to do 
this at CU for a while. Debarshi participated in a GCC workshop as well, 
so yes, this is something that needs to begin. But, in a structured 
manner, getting the content to be delivered done up first and then 
approaching the HoDs and friends at right places to see what can be done.

Atleast Rajabazar Science college's B.Tech course offered by the
Electronics & Radiophysics department has something called "UNIX
system administration", while many other colleges have one subject
which is somehow related to Unix.  Don't these help in increasing
familiarity with the system?
