The Centre for Railway Information Systems{रेलवे सूचना प्रणाली केंद्र} (CRIS,[क्रिस]) designs, develops, implements and maintains most of the important information systems of Indian Railways. It is located in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. CRIS was established in 1986 by the Ministry of Railways of India.
history
In 1982, Indian Railways (IR) set up a central organisation (COFOIS) to computerise freight operations. In 1986 the Ministry of Railways saw the need for a dedicated, autonomous organisation and established CRIS, an umbrella organisation for all information technology-related activities on Indian Railways. It was entrusted with the task of designing, developing and implementing the Freight Operations Information System (FOIS) and its communications infrastructure. CRIS began functioning in July 1986 as an autonomous organisation headed by an Executive Director (later redesignated Managing Director).
A unique feature of CRIS is collaboration by IT specialists and railway experts on deputation from the Indian Railways. Systems managed by CRIS have received international recognition from Computerworld.[1][2]
CRIS held a symposium, "IT Can Happen in Government", in New Delhi on 1 July 2010. The symposium explored the challenges faced by government agencies in meeting their IT needs and creating IT systems. In July 2014, a Seminar on Big Data was held, followed by a Symposium on Smart Cities in July 2015.
