National Mission
on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT): Under
this project all the colleges, institutes and universities are being provided
with high speed data connectivity so that high quality e-content could be
reached to the teachers and students of educational organizations. According to
the project, all UGC-approved colleges (degree level and above) would be
provided VPN over Broadband (VPNoBB) @512 kbps each-10 connections in the first
year, 15 connections in the second year and 20 connections in the third year.
Internet bandwidth will be fed centrally to this VPN network @ 5 Gbps in first
year, 10 Gbps in second year and 30 Gbps in third year. All the 419
universities will be given 1 Gbps link to nearest National Knowledge Network
(NKN) node on OFC. All the universities will be provided a LAN network of 400
nodes each and BSNL will be responsible for its maintenance for next 5 years. The connectivity under NMEICT would seamlessly integrate with the National Knowledge Network (NKN). For more information you can consult: http://www.sakshat.ac.in |
