There has been an attempt by C-DAC called "Bharat Operating System(BOSS)", based on Debian, in collaboration with NRCFOSS. It was endorsed by the Government of India for adoption and implementation on a national scale.

Grand plan right? Then, it went no where. Dead. period.

Having known a thing or two about C-DAC & DRDO, I seriously doubt this grand secret OS plan.

A friend of mine used to work at C-DAC in the late '80s and early '90s. I remember talking to him about the work they were doing in the area of parallel processing. My memory is vague, but I remember he was quite excited to work there. Not sure when things had started to go downhill.
