Navrachana University, one of the pioneering multidisciplinary educational institutions in Gujarat, inaugurated the Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS). This initiative marks a step forward in experiential learning, where students will collaborate closely with industry to develop real-world solutions to pressing challenges faced by both academia and industry.

Professor Sandeep Vasant, Registrar of Navrachana University and Founder of the Centre, has long envisioned CICS as an interdisciplinary, industry-relevant research hub since he and his team provided a solution to Zydus for a crucial problem within just three months. This paved the way for the idea of a Centre where scholars and practitioners would work together to foster industrial and educational innovation, eventually serving as a central base for crucial data infrastructure for multidisciplinary transformation.
