  software development centre called CSD that was
  established in front of the CAHU Office in the
  FD-III block way back in the 1990s.

  following objectives
• Tapping the intellectual capital at BITS towards
  design and development of quality software
• Engaging in creative generation of ideas
  necessary for innovation in computing, with focus
  on software
• Jointly collaborating with industries and
  institutions
