PM inaugurates IIM, National Data Centre in Assam
Guwahati (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday unveiled IIM Guwahati and inaugurated a high-tech data centre that would cater to the entire Northeast.
The PM virtually inaugurated the temporary campus of the Indian Institute of Management Guwahati, which is expected to give a major fillip to higher education and management education in the northeastern region.

The state-of-the-art data centre with a total sanctioned load of 8.5 MW and an average rack capacity of 10 kW per rack will host mission-critical applications of various government departments and also function as a disaster recovery centre for other NDCs.
