CSIR's research in the area of Electronics, Information, Communications and Technology will focus on developing simple electronic tools and equipment for use by local communities. We will also focus on the development of electronic communication systems and solving electronic communications engineering problems, including the utilisation of science and math applied to practical problems in the field of communications. We hope to develop next generation communication devices.

Other research areas will include Computer Hardware Architecture, Computer Networks, Multimedia Systems and Machine Learning; telecommunications, broadcasting and other communications engineering technologies; industrial electronics and instrumentation; semiconductor applications, manufacture and test engineering; systems analysis and controls engineering, software and hardware engineering.
