Rationale: 
                This course deals with the basics of Computers. After the completion 
                of this course, a student can understand different parts of the 
                Computer and their functions, various Input, Output & Storage 
                devices, Operating Systems, decimal system and connectivity through 
                the Internet. In the Printing industry most of the operations 
                are carried out using the computers rather than conventional camera 
                operations, which makes it necessary for the students to learn 
                the above mentioned contents.
