The main focus of today's session was our visit to the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in Mumbai. C-DAC is the premier research and development (R&D) organization under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), dedicated to advancing R&D in IT, electronics, and related fields. Different divisions within C-DAC have emerged at various times, often in response to identified opportunities.
During our visit, we
explored the Educational Technology unit, where we were introduced to various
educational technology tools and laboratories. The technologies we explored
included OBRIC, PACE, SAFAL, KVIZZ, PARIKSHAK, and OLABS.
- OLABS (Online Labs for Schools):
provides students with the convenience of conducting experiments online.
- Parikshak:
A web-based automated program grading and analysis tool used for
conducting exams, practice sessions, and solving programming assignments.
- PACE:
Focuses on competitive exams like GATE, JAM, and NBEMS. It automates
various processes such as candidate registration, online application
submission, application scrutiny, exam center allocation, admit card
generation, result processing, scorecard generation, and seat counseling.
- SAFAL:
A diagnostic, competency-based assessment framework designed for Grade 3,
5, and 8 students to evaluate foundational skills such as numeracy,
literacy, and basic learning outcomes.
- KVIZZ:
An interactive online quiz platform that offers real-time quizzes for
users of all ages.
- Objective Response Image-Based Capture (OBRIC): A web-based system for processing objective-type tests conducted using specially designed answer sheets. It processes scanned images of response sheets without requiring a specialized OMR scanner and displays results based on user requirements.
We also visited ISKCON's new temple, which spreads the glories of Lord Krishna. The temple was inaugurated on January 15, 2025, by Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi, the Prime Minister of India.
