The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) have formalized a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to establish an ecosystem dedicated to human resource development in high-performance computing (HPC) and related fields, as announced in a press release by the Press Information Bureau (PIB).
This collaboration aims to foster sustainable growth in HPC and its allied technologies through comprehensive training programs designed to enhance the instructional capabilities of master trainers in these domains. Additionally, C-DAC and AICTE will jointly develop quality improvement programs for educators from non-computer science disciplines, broadening their expertise in HPC and associated technologies.
To extend the reach of these educational initiatives, courses will be offered on the Ministry of Education’s SWAYAM platform, ensuring accessibility to students nationwide. Furthermore, C-DAC will provide its developed HPC learning platforms to selected institutes, enhancing the practical learning experience.
