Inaugurating the centre, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Command, Lt Gen Vijay Oberoi called for optimal utilisation of the Centre so that all Army personnel posted at the command headquarters as well as the units in Chandimandir get trained in computer skill. As it required a lot of efforts and resources to establish the centre, all officers and other ranks should not only acquire computer literacy but also undergo advance level courses, he added.

The computer centre will conduct 6 basic and advance level software courses of 3 weeks and 6 weeks duration respectively for Army personnel in three categories - officers, clerks and other ranks. Besides, a 3 week-long internet course for officers will also be conducted. Each course has an intake of 20 trainees.

This centre is part of a major IT training programme planned to educate, free of charge, the men-in- uniform to become computer savvy and exploit its benefits optimally. Advance hardware courses are also planned to be conducted. This is the second such computer training facility at the station, the first being the Defence Institute of Information Technology (DIIT) which is also open to civilians. Such centres are also planned to be setup in the lower formations of the command.
