Bihar’s first supercomputer, Param Rudra, was inaugurated at IIT Patna, marking a significant advancement in regional research infrastructure. As part of the National Supercomputing Mission, the facility provides high-performance computing capabilities using largely indigenous technologies. It enables faculty members and students to conduct advanced research in areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, computational chemistry, material science, and fluid mechanics. By supporting complex simulations and large-scale data analysis, the supercomputer strengthens academic and scientific capacity in Bihar and contributes to India’s goal of self-reliance in supercomputing technologies.
