On Day 11, we paid a visit to the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) Mumbai. The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) was established in 1988 to develop supercomputers after the U.S. denied India their import, leading to the creation of the PARAM series. Over time, C-DAC expanded into areas like Indian Language Computing, Health Informatics, and applied electronics while also integrating institutions like the National Centre for Software Technology (NCST) and the Electronic Research and Development Centre of India (ER&DCI). Additionally, C-DAC launched education and training programs in 1994, which later grew into a major initiative to address the skill demands of the Indian industry.
At CDAC, we were hosted by the Educational Technology Unit (ETU) which focuses on the following:
- Development of technology tools to enhance teaching and learning
- Creating awareness of the open source tools useful in education
A number of demonstrations and tryout on a number of projects were done on some tech tools developed by ETU, including:
- Vidyakash
- Olabs
- eLMS
- eBalbharati
- Assessment tools
