In a little over a decade since inception, C-DAC has developed and supplied a range of high performance parallel computers, known as the PARAM series of supercomputers. C-DAC's development activities in this area have been mission oriented and driven by its mission objectives, both in technology and application developments.

C-DAC, as a result of its pioneering developments, evolved the Graphics and Intelligence based Script Technology (GIST), with a view to extend the benefits of Information Technology to the vast and diversified multilingual population of India. Use of the GIST range of software and hardware products has led to the proliferation of the use of computers and their applications in all major Indian languages, with hundreds of thousand of users countrywide. Further in order to meet the growing demand of IT skilled human resources, C-DAC set up Advanced Computing Training Schools (ACTS) through which it is currently offering nine different quality courses in diverse areas of IT of 100 plus authorized training centers countrywide providing 30,000 trained manpower every year.

Over the years, C-DAC has diversified its activities to address requirements in various areas. Consequently, our expertise also extends to other advanced areas of Information Technology, enabling advanced IT based solutions in areas like Financial and Capital market simulation and modeling, Network and Internet Software, Healthcare, Real Time Systems, eGovernance, Data Warehousing, Geomatics, Multimedia, Digital library, Artificial Intelligence and Natural language processing.
