CSC has so far followed the policy that licensed software that are useful Insitute-wide would be acquired, installed and managed in CSC centrally for the use by the community. Till recently it was also part of the unwritten policy in CSC to acquire software useful to three or more Depts/Centres/Units from CSC funds. The licensed software currently available with CSC are detailed in the table below. However, in a recent change of policy, the Institute has ruled that the funds for licensed software that are required only by a few Depts/Centres/Units will have to be funded from the plan budgets of the individual Depts/Centres/Units that are interested in the Institute acquiring the software for their use.
