With the launch of the Param Rudra Supercomputing System, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has achieved a major step forward in India’s technical development and independence.
The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) built the cutting-edge facility, which significantly enhances the nation’s capacity for high-performance computing.
WHAT IS PARAM RUDRA SUPERCOMPUTER?
Named after Lord Shiva’s furious form, Param Rudra is engineered to address challenging computational problems in a variety of scientific and engineering fields. Under the National Supercomputing Mission, three Param Rudra supercomputers have been created domestically at a cost of Rs 130 crores.
“Whether it is the economy or ease of doing business or disaster management capacity or ease of living, there is no sector that is not directly dependent on technology and computing capabilities. This sector is the biggest foundation of India’s success in industry 4.0,” the prime minister said. He also mentioned that India is developing its own semiconductor industry, which would play a significant role in the world supply chain.
The supercomputer’s remarkable processing capability is anticipated to spur research and development in areas including data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

The three supercomputers are being used to support state-of-the-art scientific research in Delhi, Kolkata, and Pune. The supercomputer will be used by Pune’s Giant Metre Radio Telescope (GMRT) to investigate astronomical occurrences such as Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) in Delhi will progress atomic physics and material science research. Advanced research in physics, cosmology, and earth sciences will be spearheaded by the S.N. Bose Centre in Kolkata in the meantime.
PM Modi also presented a specialist high-performance computing system for meteorological and climate studies in addition to Param Rudra. With the help of this method, meteorological forecasting in India could undergo a revolution that would lead to increasingly precise predictions of weather patterns and climatic trends.
The consequences of the improved forecasting capabilities for urban planning, agriculture, and disaster management will be extensive.
The Prime Minister underlined the value of domestic technology development during the inauguration ceremony in order to help India realise its ambition of leading the world in the digital era.
He emphasised how the government’s goal of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (Self-Reliant India) is aligned with supercomputing facilities like Param Rudra and how these facilities will help address the nation’s practical concerns.
It is anticipated that the implementation of these cutting-edge computing systems will strengthen India’s standing in the world supercomputing arena. It will give scientists and researchers the resources they need to take on urgent problems in fields like healthcare, renewable energy, and mitigating climate change.
