Introduction. Today man's scientific knowledge is very wide and highly advanced. It has helped him to discover and invent many things for his comforts and efficiency Computer is the latest .and most Brilliant child of science.                                             

How computer came into existence? Charles Babbage developed v the first difference and analytical engine in 1812, the later developed 'Analytical engine'. This machine had the concepts of modern Computers namely memory unit and capacity to handle Stored programme. But this machine could not be put into practical Application due id technological limitations at his time. In 1854, George Boole invented the logic system which is the basis for today's Digital computers. In 193.7, the first electro machine calculator was developed by Howard and Dilton. In 1946, the first computer came into existence. It was named as ENIAC [Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator] was developed by Dr. John Nouchly and J.P. Eckert University of Pennsylvania U.SA. In 1951Remington Remind Corporation of USA brought out a commercial Computer named UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computer).    

Transistor technology developed computer. Transistor Technology gave birth to second. These were smaller size more reliable, and had higher. Speed of operation A3rd generation computer consisted of) BN- 370 type. The fourth Generation computer presently manufactured by U.S.A. Japan and Her European and Asian countries are based on large scale Integration. Fifth generation computers are under trial in USA and Japan. These are based on artificial intelligence .They will think like Human brain, collect most information from their reservoir of Memory and make expert judgment and decisions.

Services which computers renders. Mr. Rajiv Gandhi, our Youngest Prime Minister, proclaimed Computerize most of its public Service before interring the 21^st century. Calculating machines, which we call now computers. Have entered nearly all fields of human Activity. Since 1946 the world has witnessed a period of vast activity in Computation of various services. We have now computers which Run do different functions e.g. making predictions about weather, Studying changes taking place in space, examining parcels and prescribing treatments, collecting data about factory workers. Data Processing in electronics and predicting results, making reservations. it railway stations and aerodromes, making and operating radars and Missiles, performing various electrical jobs in banks, life insurance Corporations and offices.

Computerization of services In India. If India wants to enter the Computer age, she will have to import advanced computers technology and give computer training to a visit number of people in this country. The country has started developing computers-They will be needed in space research. These computers will guide and control the flight of space ships. Today computers arc developed to helping defense Services. They will be needed for making deference studies and controlling operations. We have started the use of computers in Factories and offices tor collecting data. Small computers have been installed in Life Insurance Corporation Offices.

Conclusion. The future of computerization in India K. bright. In Very near future they will be introduced in banks or railway stations, in aerodromes. They will be used in factories to supervise and guide Machines. At present we have just made beginning and within the next Fifteen years before the century come to a close we shall be on the Road to computerization.
