For information on applying this template onto existing presentations, refer to the notes on slide 2 of this presentation.
The Input area of the Beam can be customized to reflect the content of the presentation. The Input area is an AutoShape with a picture fill. To change this, ensure you have the image you wish to use (ideally a .jpg or a .png file) in an accessible folder. The image should have a ratio of 1:1 to ensure it does not appear distorted.
Acceptable images for importing into the Input area of the Beam are the three approved graphics (lines), and black and white photography or illustrations which follow the principles laid out on The Branding Zone. Color images should never be imported into this area.
To create a thank you slide with a picture in the Input area of the Beam, duplicate this master slide and create a new master slide. If using the graphic on the title slide the same should be used on the thank you slide. If using a picture in the Input area of the Beam in the title slide, the same or different but related picture can be used on the thank you slide.
Customize the Input area of the Beam as described below.
Click on the View tab from the menu bar and select Master>Slide Master
Right-click on the Input graphic and select Format AutoShape
From the Fill menu, under the Color and Lines tab, click on the drop-down arrow next to Color and select the Fill Effects menu
From the Picture tab, click on Select Picture. Navigate to the folder containing the image you wish to insert in the Input area. Highlight the image and tick the Lock picture aspect ratio box. Click on OK.
You can now preview the image before continuing. If you are happy with how it looks, click Ok to continue. Otherwise, repeat the process until you are happy with your selected image
To exit from Master View, click on View>Normal. The change you made to the Input graphic should now be visible on the title slide

2. Introduction
NKN will connect Educational Institutes, R&D institutions, Health service facilities, Agricultural institutions and Libraries of the country
In March 2010, Government of India allocated a budget of INR 5990 Crore for the Implementation of NKN
Implementation plan was finalized by TAC under the guidance of HLC
National Informatics Centre (NIC) was appointed as the Project Execution Agency (PEA)
In Phase – I NKN plans to connect 550+ institutions by March, 2011
On Conclusion of the final Phase NKN would have connected institutions

3. Key Highlights
NKN will provide a common platform to the scientists, researchers, doctors, scholars and students to work together for advancing human development.
The architecture of NKN has been designed for reliability, availability & scalability
The network consists of an ultra-high speed core, starting with multiple 2.5/10 G and progressively moving towards 40/100 Gigabits per Second (Gbps)
The core is complimented with a distribution layer covering all districts at appropriate speeds
The participating institutions at the edge would seamlessly connect to NKN at Gigabit per second speed.

10. NKN: On Conclusion of Final Phase
At the conclusion of the final phase, NKN shall have presence in more than 500 districts of India with connectivity to major research and education institutions.
Points of Presence (PoP) : 31
Backbone Links : 89
Edge links : 1500

11. NKN Core Present Status

12. Technical Overview
The backbone of the network starts from 2.5 Gbps and progressively moves onto 10 Gbps connectivity between 7 Supercore (fully meshed) locations across India.
The network is further spread out through Core locations with multiple of 2.5/10 Gbps partially meshed connectivity with Supercore locations.
The network architecture and governance structure allows users with options to connect to the distribution layer as well.
For special interest groups, NKN enables Virtual Private Networks
NKN provides international connectivity to its users for global collaborative research. Presently, NKN is connected to:
Trans Eurasia Information Network (TEIN3)
Similar connectivity to GLORIAD network is in the pipeline
