Centre for Information Resource Management

A HUB OF ICT ACTIVITIES

The Internet Centre was established in the year of 13th June 2002 with monetary help from the MPLAD ( Member of Parliament Local Area Development) fund of the Hon’ble Rajya Sabha Member Professor Bharati Roy, the noted Academician. The Centre was inaugurated by Professor Roy on June 13, 2002. The Executive Council in its 8th meeting of the 6th Executive Council held on 22nd March 2007 approved the renaming of the “Internet Centre” as “Centre for Information Resource Management (CIRM)”. The newly CIRM was Inaugurated by Professor Debesh Das, Minister-in-Charge, Department of Information Technology, West Bengal on December 03, 2007. The Centre for Information Resource Management (CIRM) caters to the ICT requirements of the University. Since its inception, the Centre has evolved from a small computing facility to a critical central facility of the University. The Centre actively supports the University in leveraging ICT for modernization of education, research environment and transparent governance. CIRM shifted to the new E-Technology building in December 2015, which was inaugurated by His Excellency Sri Ksesharinath Tripathi, Governor of West Bengal. Today, the Centre offers its services to the faculty members, research scholars, and students staff of the university through a campus area network of more than 800 terminals.

The Centre for Information Resource Management(CIRM) has implemented a campus Local Area Network (LAN) with optical fibre GB backbone connecting the academic as well as administrative departments spread over the entire university campus. The CIRM is also providing the Internet facility on a clock basis to all users in the university including teaching, administrative staff, research scholars and students. Internet connectivity is provided throughout the campus with 1GBPS OFC Link (through the NMEICT project under MHRD). Campus LAN has also been set up to spread the LAN connectivity to the Research Scholars Hostels.

At present, CIRM maintains the web server, mail server, DHCP server, proxy server and anti-virus server of the University. Besides these servers, this centre has a number of high performance computing facilities, state-of-the-art servers and Windows laboratories and different advanced application software. Users can use the computing resources of the university from their departments. Labs and Research Scholar hostels are also provided computing facilities through wired Gigabit LAN connectivity. Additionally University’s digital EPABX system is also monitored by the CIRM. The technical team of CIRM also extends its help to students and other users for immediate troubleshooting of network connectivity issues of their Personal Computers and peripherals.
