In Pune, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that technology is key for India to become a developed country by 2047. He highlighted the important role of the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in this mission.
Vaishnaw launched new technology products created by C-DAC, including two development boards called ARIES ECO and ARIES NOVA, and a new computer chip named THEJAS64. The ARIES ECO board is designed for students to experiment with cool projects like smart meters and wearable devices. This helps young students learn about building technology in exciting and practical ways.
THEJAS64 is India’s first fully made 64-bit chip, built to support safe and powerful technology.
Vaishnaw emphasized that a lot of research is happening in India’s top universities, such as IIT Madras and IISc Bengaluru. With around 240 institutions across the country using advanced tools for designing computer chips, C-DAC plays an important role in uniting and guiding these research efforts.
He mentioned that students who once only read about technology in books can now use real tools to create their own ideas. These young innovators are getting ready for jobs in the chip-making industry, and they even have the chance to start their own tech companies.
To support these future engineers, C-DAC will host a competition for students using design tools, helping them connect with industry experts. They will also introduce a new certification course for students, ensuring they are well prepared for their careers.
