Background – SSSU’s Vision
•SSSU’s Vision and its alignment to National mission :▫Established not for merely earning
degrees, but for LIFE▫Emphasis on giving and forgiving▫Responsibilities Vs rights of youth▫NAAC A++ Accreditation – Crest Jewel in
University Education
SRI SATHYA SAI UNIVERSITY’s Contribution to Society•SSSU’s Unique achievement
▫FREE education with emphasis on developing citizens of good character founded on moral and ethical values.
▫Balanced Development in all spheres of LIFE▫Service to Society is an integral part of SSSU
Education – Grama Seva▫Development of Self-Confidence as the
foundation, Self-satisfaction, Self-Sacrifice, and Self- Realization as higher goals among students.

Intuition-Based Learning Strategy•Different levels and shades of learning –
Information to Transformation •Learning Materials to “DEVELOP
INTUITION”•Requires test-beds for trying out ideas as
one would do in Lab •Enables Innovation through Intuition•Provides a healthy platform for young
scientists
Computational Sciences
Computational Sciences
Why Computational Sciences?• Relevance of Computational Sciences and its
perceived impact on the Society.• New growing discipline in its own right• Harnesses power of computing to solve real-
world problems• New paradigm of inter-disciplinary research and
educational development.• Complexity of nature as revealed by Science
requires much deeper understanding • Many societal applications require a multi-
disciplinary approach. – Drug design, Weather forecasting, Epidemic modeling, precision agriculture.
• Enhances better understanding of all sciences
Why Computational Sciences?
•SSSU’s vision is to take research to greater heights via inter-disciplinary research in computational sciences, thus providing a platform for holistic development of all disciplines
Why Computational Sciences?• Current research scenario is purely based
on commercial and self-interests
• Need to foster the self-sustaining cycle of Research –> Content/Tools development –> Test bed provision -> Intuition-based learning by ALL ->Research -
>……. Result: AN INNOVATING NATION !
Contribution of DMACS in Computational Sciences
Contribution of DMACS in Computational Sciences•High Performance Computing•Computational Intelligence•Robotics And Machine Learning•Image Mosaicing of Aerial Images For
DRDO•Information Security, and Forensics•Intelligent Data Mining•Text to Speech for Visually Challenged
Computational Science in Other Departments Of SSSU
•Computational Modeling in BIOINFORMATICS
•Computational Electro-dynamics of Nano-optics
•Computational Chemistry in study of bio-macro molecules and their interactions with drug molecules
•Computational Modeling in Finance
Proposal and its Uniqueness• Proposal Overview
▫Enhancing the current research activities at SSSU through infrastructure enhancement
▫Inducting appropriate expertise through careful selection process to intensify research, content and tools development
▫Offering new courses, seminars, workshops, web-enabled test-beds and mentoring which will lead to quality content generation.
Proposal and its Uniqueness•Unique Contribution:
▫High quality educational materials based on original research in a multi-disciplinary area which are otherwise not available.
▫Web-enablement of simulation and learning tools as test-beds to facilitate intuition-based learning by aspiring students, thus providing a healthy learning cycle.
▫Eg: Tornado simulation
Plan of Action
•Phase I - two years
▫consolidate the research already in progress
▫commence the establishment of necessary infrastructure
▫initiate resource acquisition process ▫begin content development work.
Plan of Action
•Phase II – two years
▫introduce a new curriculum in M.S in computational sciences
▫intensify research▫deliver content together with web enabled
tools
Plan of Action
•Phase III – one year
▫select a few themes of computational sciences, at least one from each discipline
▫identify through pilot trials focused research projects that can be adopted in future for societal benefit.
Budget Layout•Infrastructure
▫Building Rs 250 lakhs▫Computing Facilities Rs 210 lakhs▫Networks, PCs, thin clients Rs 182 lakhs
•Staff (5 years) Rs 283 lakhs•Other Recurring Expenses Rs 175
lakhs•TOTAL Rs 11.0 Crores over 5 years.
Budget breakdown for CACS
Conclusion
•Our proposal envisages delivery of quality learning material and tools
•Provides a portal for Intuition-based Learning
•The model will be easily replicable to other research domains
