Information is today considered an important resource and has attained strategic importance. Information is vital for the growth of any economy. Any sector of economy, to climb up successfully at the required fast pace, needs efficient information management. Information is a vital source in any decision making process, especially when time is limited.
India is now on the threshold of revolutionary changes in economic and social life, largely effected by the rapid advances in information revolution. The western part of our country covering the states of Gujarat, Maharastra, Rajasthan, Madhyapradesh, has been a major contributor to the Indian economy in the past and in the present. To help retain this status in future, which is going to be an information age, NACID has been established in the heart of the area, at Ahmedabad.
National Information System for Science and Technology (NISSAT), DSIR, Govt.of India has approved NICTAS as one among the NACID chains established in India. Initial financial support has been provided by NISSAT.
Globalisation has thus arrived at NICTAS. With the new facilities of NACID, we can access almost all the online databases available in the world. The subject coverage will be vast - unimaginable!
NACID at NICTAS is to satisfy your information needs. NACID puts an ever-expanding universe of information at your command.
