1. Introduction

Set up in 1988, Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) is a scientific society

of the Department of Electronics and Information Technology, Ministry of Communications &Information Technology, Government of India, carrying out Research and Development (R&D)in IT, electronics and associated areas. Different thematic areas of C-DAC's research includehigh performance computing, grid and cloud computing, multilingual computing, professional

electronics, software technologies, cyber security, health informatics, ubiquitous computing, andeducation & training.

As an institution for high-end R&D, C-DAC has been at the forefront of the IT revolution in the

country, constantly building capacities in emerging/enabling technologies, and innovating andleveraging its expertise, calibre and skill sets to develop and deploy IT products and solutions fordiverse sectors. A major spin-off of the challenging expeditions into the various realms of state-

of-the-art technologies has been the emergence of a high-quality intellectual resource base at C-DAC in the form of expert teams with specialised knowledge of various facets of advanced

computing.

With such a rich resource base at its command, C-DAC set up the Advanced ComputingTraining School (ACTS)in 1993 to meet the ever-increasing skilled manpower requirements of

the Information Communication Technologies (ICT) industry as well as supplement itsintellectual resource base for cutting-edge research and development. Over the years C-DAC hasdesigned and delivered various postgraduate and undergraduate degree and diploma

programmes. In addition, C-DAC imparts ICT training to state and national governments andagencies, strategic sectors, corporate and industries, foreign countries and international students,

based on specific requirements.

Presently C-DAC is offering postgraduate courses through its own training centres in Bengaluru,Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mohali, Mumbai, Noida, Pune and Thiruvananthapuram, and itsnetwork of 19 Authorised Training Centres (ATC) spread across the country. Each year,

thousands of students and professionals are trained at these centres, enhancing their knowledge-base and equipping them with the latest methodologies in advanced computing so as to make

their mark in the ICT industry. So far more than a quarter million students have passed out fromC-DAC. Many of them are successful employees of multinational and premier Indian ICTcompanies today, and many of them have become booming entrepreneurs.

C-DAC is committed to nation building and is the first Indian government agency that hasexpanded its training horizons globally, extending its high quality training services to countrieslike Armenia, Belarus, Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Dubai, Ghana, Grenada, Japan,

Kazakhstan, Lesotho, Mauritius, Myanmar, Seychelles, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Uzbekistan andVietnam.

students to understand the concepts of network security and learn the techniques of

detecting the attacks and securing a network from internal and external attacks. At theend of the course, the student will be able to recognise a variety of generic securitythreats and vulnerabilities, understand the principles and practices of cryptographictechniques, identify and analyze particular security problems for a given application and

apply appropriate security techniques to solve the security issues. The major modulescovered in PG-DITISS are:

Fundamentals of Computer Networks Concepts of Operating System and Administration Java Programming with Crypto API Security Concepts Network Defense and Countermeasures (NDC) Auditing, Securing Standards and Best Practices Cyber Forensics & Cyber Laws Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) IT Infrastructure Management Aptitude & Business Communication Project

16.10 Post Graduate Diploma in Geoinformatics (PG-DGi)

Geoinformatics or Geomatics is the synergy of multiple disciplines, namely, GIS, remotesensing, photogrammetry, cartography, GPS and geodesy. It is fundamental to all the

disciplines that use data identified by their locations. PG-DGi aims to provide conceptualknowledge on GIS, remote sensing and related fields, and hands-on training in GIS,satellite data interpretation, digital image processing, digital photogrammetry, digital

cartography and GPS. There are also three electives, i.e., GIS Development, RDBMS andGeomatics Business & Project Management. Application of Geoinformatics in various

development contexts are analysed through appropriate case studies. The course contentshave been designed keeping in view the emerging trends in the field of Geoinformaticsand the increasing needs of skilled manpower. The modules covered in PG-DGi are:

Geographic Information Systems Global Positioning Systems Remote Sensing Digital Image Processing Spatial Analysis Trends in Geoinformatics Remote Sensing and GIS Applications Geospatial Programming Aptitude & Business Communication Project & Seminar
