+Talk/Paper Abstract
+
+
+Python has been around for a long enough time now that it needs
+serious attention from the educational institutes which teach
+computer science. Today Python is known for its simple syntax
+yet powerful performance (if not the fastest performance which
+is any ways not needed all the time ). From Scientific computing
+till graphical user interfaces and from system administration
+till web application development, it is used in many
+domains. However due to Industrial propaganda leading to
+promotion of other interpreted languages (free or proprietary)?
+Python has not got the justice in educational sector which it
+deserves. This paper will talk on methodologies which can be
+adopted to convince the universities for including Python in
+their curriculum. The speaker will provide an insight into his
+experience on success in getting Python included in some
+Universities. A case of SNDT University will be discussed where
+the curriculum designers have decided to have Python in their
+courses from the next year. The speaker will share his ideas
+which led to this inclusion. these will include,
+
+
+-
+Begin by doing series of Python workshops
+
+-
+Provide information and opportunities for python based projects
+
+-
+make the faculties aware of teaching ease
+
+-
+clear the FUD regarding jobs
+
