According to National knowledge commission(NKC)
, human capital, skill competencies, knowledge index, and ICT
infrastructure are among important metrics for evaluating the
progress of a country . Some of the strategy suggested by NKC
in its report in 2005 , include
-
Industry – Institute Interaction model being followed in USA ,
Japan , European Countries
-
Symbiotic existence of University system , R&D and Industry (CMU
, MIT model , NSF supported future research plans) where
University does research and Industry takes concept to Productization route in a planned manner
NKC has also observed that Research and teaching
are most powerful and purposeful if coupled with each other and
suggest that strong vibrant PG program is necessary for reducing
dependencies on foreign know-how and technology transfer . It
has proposed that National labs and industries should teach the
students and provide them work and PG should become minimum qualification
for recruitment in industry.
CDAC , Noida has ventured into education in 2000 with the same
concept of sharing its expertise with students by starting formal
degree program . CDAC, Noida professes the policy of establishing
the balance between research and teaching for higher education.
At present CDAC Noida is working on research area like Ubiquitous
computing , RFID , Language Technology , Health care informatics
, Open Source Software, Assistive technologies Software Engineering,
Web Technologies, E-security , Secure business- e commerce. Most
of these are also identified as Thrust areas for R & D under
11th plan of IT ministry of government of India.
Fundamental premise of the academic culture at the Center is the
inter-mixing and interaction of research and education. While
advancing knowledge and understanding, it is expected that the
research activity would provide experience in theory and experimentation
for students and professionals. Simultaneously, the teaching activity
is expected to provide an ambience in which the relevance, accomplishments
and vitality of its research are concurrently embedded in the
knowledge up-gradation process, to provide a competitive edge
to the students.
