The related BCA Department has started its journey during the period of University College under NBU with BCA Program. Though after the functioning of Raiganj University, in the year 2016 Honorable Vice Chancellor Prof. (Dr.) Anil Bhuimali has (during the Headship of Dr. Ashoke Das) initiated to start a PG Program/ Department in the area of Computing & Informatics and thereafter respected members and Chair of the Departmental Committee has accepted the proposal of Dr. P.K. Paul regarding establishing an interdisciplinary and new skill based Departmental nomenclature with the name of Department of Computer and Information Science (Since 09-11-2016).
The nomenclature of the Department ‘CIS’ has started to keep the expertise and academic affairs much broader and working and merging related subjects (such as Computing, Computer Science, Information Science, Informatics, IT, ICT and also other hand allied domain based IS/IT subjects e.g. Health Information Science, Quantum Information Science, Library Information Science, Geo Information Science). Moreover university has followed international and contemporary style of academic dealing and as a result MSc-Computer & Information Science program has been started from 2016. The main agenda of the Department is to produce not only scientific thoughts among its students but also prepare them for the industry and for that Applied curriculum has been adopted in the line of the universities, aboard. Hence the Department of CIS is following the style of iSchools (that practiced globally, in recent past) academic attributes in their agenda for promoting interdisciplinary research and industrial products.
Moreover, since the Department holds a ‘school’ type of nature therefore in near future also it is interested to offer more interdisciplinary and skill based Information Sciences and Computing programs with different level of education.
Vision:
● Where graduate, post graduate and research students receive high quality education that becomes in acquiring jobs,
● Where faculty engageed in and train students in cutting edge teaching, research and innovation,
● Where flowing research themes intersect and is the enabler of research in other disciplines, and
● Where students manipulate with technological society and towards serving the society.
Mission:
● To bring about the progress of teaching and research on Computer Science, Computing and Information Science nationally and internationally.
● To enlighten the students to be successful, moral, social problem-solvers and enduring learners who will contribute definitely to the economic interest of the region as well as of the nation.
● To impart proficient training at the postgraduate, undergraduate and research level with a prominence on the field of Computer Science and Information Science.
● To provide learning experiences through effective classroom practices, energetic learning styles of teaching, and opportunities for friendly relationship between students and faculty and other stakeholders of the department and fields.
Therefore, The Department of Computer & Information Science is an Interdisciplinary Academic Department at the Raiganj University. The Department of CIS and its focus is many ways different with other traditional Computing related department in West Bengal. It has established to draw a common platform for information and technological solutions to create a knowledge society. When most of the Computing Schools dealing only software, and hardware related technologies in their curricula The Department of CIS has opened up a new eye for merging interaction and integration of Computing, Information Technologies for the Society and Service Sector.
As a Service Science, Computer & Information Science is relatively new and much popular in Western Countries. The endeavor for establishing such practice in India is really difficult in many senses but still to reach the agenda of Digital Society, Knowledge Society—The Department of Computer & Information Science is working for. The Department of CIS has its vision in the areas of E-Governance, E-Commerce, Disaster Management, GIS, Geo-Spatial Technologies, Nano-Technology, Intellectual Property Rights, AI and Expert Systems, Computer Science, Networking, Soft Computing, High Performance Computing, Social Computing, HCI, Cloud Computing, Green Informatics, Information Management and Other Emerging Technologies.
However Computer & Information Science is also synonymously called as Information Science & Technology as the broadest branch within computing and informatics and it deals with applications of IT, knowledge management tools for the other sectors and domains i.e. directly to the people or community. Simply IST denotes the interaction of information-technology-people and same can also be performed by the CIS. With the rapid development of information technology, researchers in all fields are eager to exchange new ideas connected with Computer and Information Science. It provides a valuable opportunity for researchers, scholars and some scientists to exchange their ideas face-to-face. In brief the slogan of the Department is—
‘To Create the most conducive environment for quality and innovation centric academic and research oriented education to build a new generation who would “think global and act local”
