+
+
+<p>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,
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+Begin by doing series of Python workshops
+</li>
+<li>
+Provide information and opportunities for python based projects
+</li>
+<li>
+make the faculties aware of teaching ease
+</li>
+<li>
+clear the FUD regarding jobs
+</li>
+</ul>
