School of Digital Sciences

School of Digital Sciences

The school will focus on STEM education. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is a broad term used to group together these academic disciplines.  As per STEMconnector.org, projections estimate the need for 8.65 million workers in STEM-related jobs. It was reported that STEM jobs in India increased by 44% from 2016-2019.  

In the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0, it’s highly important to train the youth of our nation with the latest technologies and get them prepared to bring knowledge and skills to solve complex problems and how to use these skills for decision making. These skills are generally known as STEM. To meet the expectations to create a dynamic workforce who can lead our nation tomorrow, it is essential to have trained human resources in STEM fields.  The theme of the proposed School of Digital Science is STEM, spanning the broad areas of Computational Science, Data Analytics and Scalable Data Systems across various science and technology domains. 

Vision

To become an internationally reputed Advanced Center in the thematic areas of the school and to provide socially relevant services to the general public through the knowledge and skill acquired through learning, research and development.

Mission

To provide the critical meeting ground for people to learn the subject, interact with world class experts, collaborations, organized and regulated access to federated data, information, and computational resources, for knowledge creation, dissemination and applications to facilitate world-class education and bleeding edge research in the field of digital sciences and thereby empowering the society with updated skills and knowledge.

Objectives

  • To cater to the demand of trained human resources in the areas of STEM
  • To foster advanced research, development and innovation in frontier areas of Digital Sciences
  • To encourage and motivate student community to take up the future challenges of the growing IT industry
  • To promote innovations and entrepreneurship ecosystem in social innovations and commercialize research outcomes
