Are you really sure? CDAC stands for the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing. I wonder what the hyphen is doing in C-DAC. If needless hyphens are ok, I prefer to call it C-DA-C :) The CDAC website seems to be ncst.ernet.in. So, the ghost of NCST: National Centre for Software Technology is still around.

NCST is the organization orginally called NCSDCT, and they're the grand-daddies of Unix adoption in India. In short, it's good to have NCST involved, but of course, it's even better to just give the money to the LUGs :-). We can do a better job popularizing FLOSS.
