The curriculum so framed must be dynamic, relevant and to a certain extent flexible enough to accommodate new findings, innovations and new concepts in different avenues so that it continues to remain updated and be in tune with the knowledge explosion and the rapid technological developments. The curriculum must also reflect the avowed mission and vision of the institution. The curricula must make our science and technology education a way of life i.e. thinking logically and rationally. Keeping this concept in mind, the Noorul Islam Centre for Higher Education has framed the curricula for all the programmes offered by it. The academic regulations of the University provide for Choice Based Credit System with semester pattern and continuous internal assessment. The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), the ‘cafeteria like system’ transforms the traditional teacher-centric education into a learner-centric education. Thus the academic freedom embedded in the regulations provide flexibility for the students to have a greater choice of courses appropriate to their interests, needs and long-term goals; rather than a rigid and compartmentalized system. Moreover, personality development programmes, projects and industrial visits are designed as part of the curriculum. The aim is that at the end of the course the learner should be in a position to transfer the knowledge and skills developed within the class room to real life situations. “Making graduates and postgraduates more employable'' is the new `mantra' in higher education. Hence, due care has been taken while constituting the Board of Studies of Noorul Islam Centre for Higher Education. It is mandatory for the Boards of Studies to have an academician of repute and an industrial expert from the relevant discipline as external members keeping in mind the concept of learner-centric approach. The integration of Information and Communication Technology in the curriculum of all the programmes aims at attaining global competency by the students. The University is aware of the fact that obtaining feedback from the industrialists, employers, academic peers, faculty, parents, alumni and students through informal and formal means ensures the availability of information about the curricula and the qualitative changes required in the curricula/syllabi and hence the feedback methodology has been introduced and strengthened. The Intramural courses provide students with opportunities to deepen their values and develop intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. These courses Executive Summary E 1 Noorul Islam Centre for Higher Education-NAAC SSR have been designed to meet articulated and observed needs of the students in consonance with the changing demands of the industry. The Intramural courses will help to develop academic and technical competence, interpersonal skills and values and spiritual well-being of the budding technology professionals. A unique feature of the curricula is that in order to incorporate the state-of-art developments, the teacher teaching the subjects at the post graduate level is empowered to change the syllabus to the extent of 10% with proper preplanning and prior approval from the Vice-Chancellor without going through the process of Board of Studies and Academic Council approvals. Criterion – II Teaching-Learning and Evaluation The university understands that

    JUNE 2020 Strengthening the C4ISR Capabilities of India’s Armed Forces: The Role of Small Satellites KARTIK BOMMAKANTI Strengthening the C4ISR Capabilities of India's Armed Forces: The Role of Small Satellites KARTIK BOMMAKANTI ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kartik Bommakanti is an Associate Fellow at ORF. ISBN: 978-93-90159-24-6 © 2020 Observer Research Foundation. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without permission in writing from ORF. Strengthening the C4ISR Capabilities of India’s Armed Forces: The Role of Small Satellites ABSTRACT Small satellites have gained considerable importance in recent years. Although small spacecraft have existed for decades, their military applications have recently gained prominence owing to technological advances in their development and integration into the armed services of the major spacefaring countries across the world. This paper analyses the significance of small satellites in the C4ISR capabilities of the three service branches of the Indian military. Small satellites are not a panacea for the C4ISR needs of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force, but will help partially address their sensor-related requirements. They also contribute to a multi-layered and distributed capability for the Indian armed services. Investment in Small Satellites should assume greater salience in Indian defence planning in the coming years.
