DESCRIPTION :

Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) is the premier R&D organization of the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY)¸ Ministry of Communications & Information Technology (MCIT) for carrying out R&D in IT¸ Electronics and associated areas.  Different areas of C-DAC¸ had originated at different times¸ many of which came out as a result of identification of opportunities.

The setting up of C-DAC in 1988 itself was to built Supercomputers in context of denial of import of Supercomputers by USA. Since then C-DAC has been undertaking building of multiple generations of Supercomputer starting from PARAM with 1 GF in 1988.
Almost at the same time¸ C-DAC started building Indian Language Computing Solutions with setting up of GIST group (Graphics and Intelligence based Script Technology); National Centre for Software Technology (NCST) set up in 1985 had also initiated work in Indian Language Computing around the same period.
Electronic Research and Development Centre of India (ER&DCI) with various constituents starting as adjunct entities of various State Electronic Corporations¸ had been brought under the hold of Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (now DeitY) in around 1988. They were focusing on various aspects of applied electronics¸ technology and applications.
With the passage of time as a result of creative echo system that got set up in C-DAC¸ more areas such as Health Informatics¸ etc.¸ got created; while right from the beginning the focus of NCST was on Software Technologies; similarly C-DAC started its education & training activities in 1994 as a spin-off with the passage of time¸ it grew to a large efforts to meet the growing needs of Indian Industry for finishing schools.
