PUNE: The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) has
signed an agreement with the Union Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)
to set up computer labs for school students in Armenia.
The project aims at upgrading information technology (IT) education
and related facilities in 19 schools in urban and semi-urban areas
and 53 schools in rural areas. More than 15,000 students are expected
to benefit from the project, where 72 labs will be set up.
The labs will be set up at schools in Tavush region, one of the 11
provinces of Armenia, located in the north-west of the country and
has a population of 1.34 lakh. The region borders Azerbaijan in the
north-west and Georgia in the north.
The agreement was signed by Ajay Bisaria, joint secretary, Eurasia and
Rajat Moona, director general, C-DAC. The Hayastan All Armenian Fund
(HAAF) is in the process of supporting Armenian government's efforts
for the development of adequate IT infrastructure in Tavush region.
The C-DAC will procure IT equipment through public tender in
consultation with MEA, help in finalisation of the tender after
technical evaluation, etc, and arrange for supply, do site inspection
and other related works. The C-DAC will also supervise the onsite
support during the period of warranty. The total estimated cost of
the project is Rs 2.8 crore.
Moona said, "The C-DAC has already made some inroads with the
implementation of the India-Armenia Centre for Excellence in ICT at
Yerevan, and I am sure we will be able to extend our expertise in
Tavush region as well."Eom/swati
