International Conference organized at the department in 2006-2007:

International Conference on Next Generation Information Technologies for Societal Advancement and Integration (NextGen IT for SAI) (15th to 17th July 2006) was hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.

Information to Transformation: With inspiration from the Revered Chancellor, the inner motivator, inspirer, teacher, and executor of every task in our lives the conference was tuned to ‘Information is only Information. There is only transformation of information, and not real transformation [of people]’. These inspiring and eloquent words from Revered Chancellor superbly capture the state of information science and technology, which is essentially about how information is transformed from one form to another. ‘Information should be used for societal benefits and humanity and should deploy information technology to achieve real transformation of individuals, groups, and humanity’. These inspiring words from Bhagawan Baba served as the seeds for the conference.

  • In 1993 the department was renamed as the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (DMACS) and the M.Tech. (Computer Science) programme was initiated. An Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) lab was set up with a grant of Rs.40 laksh from AICTE. The AI lab was established in 1997 with UNIX DEC ALPHA systems and WINDOWS NT server. Over the years the lab has been upgraded  and added (to this date) 20 Milleneium PCs, 11 Pentiums, and 8 nos of Pentiums with complete networking. A good number of software has been added.
  • The department teaches in a typical semester about 30 courses including core, elective and software lab courses. The faculty members supervise M.Sc. dissertations, M.Tech. projects and Ph.D. theses.
  • The department got two project from DRDO, one on Industrial and Medical Radiography (2000) and the other on Arial Image Mosaicing (2002). The first one has been completed and the second one is in progress.
  • The department gets regularly visiting faculties coming from universities as well as from industry both within India and abroad.
  • The department regularly conducts in house seminars for orientation and international level workshops on the research topics of current interest. To such workshops frontline researchers on the subject are invited to deliver talks.
  • The recruitment of the alumni in the premier Universities both inland and abroad like IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Madras, Andhra University, Wipro, Honeywell, Daimler Chrysler, Infosys, Siemens, iFlex, iSoft, JP Morgan, Ernst and young, IBM, INTEL, NRSI, Medicom, Lucent, Sun Microsystems, Cordys, Philips, TCS, Sathyam, Microsoft, AT & T. etc.
