BACKGROUND
Looking into the geographical and demographic condition of our country, Access Network, Electricity, and ICT/Automation are the three main pillars of developing the nation. ICT helps to maintain transparency, efficient public service delivery, and better governance. Nepal is a developing country, where there are several potentials for development through the use of Information and Communication Technologies. Localization of modern technologies by research and innovation is required for better implementation for our nation. ICT drives the potential development areas like agriculture, mountain engineering, climate change, hydropower, etc. for the nation. In this regard, both IOE faculties and students should be exposed to the latest trends, especially in the domain of Information and Communication Technologies.
Center for Applied Research and Development (CARD)in collaboration with University Grants Commission (UGC) and support from AWS Academy and Genese Academy organized 7 days of intensive capacity development training on the “Current Trends in Enterprise Computing” for faculties of IOE. The nature of the program is to build the capacity of faculties of different constituent campuses by exposing them to the latest trends in Enterprise Computing. The faculties will understand the modern trends adopted by the enterprises and will have hands-on experiences in the usage of cloud platforms like AWS.
