ICAR-IASRI became a full-fledged Institute of the ICAR in April 1970. The research, teaching and training activities of the Institute were organized in a number of Divisions with the main objective of the formulation and implementation of research projects in specific fields. During April 1970, seven Divisions were created; Computer Science and Numerical Analysis is one of them. In 1985, this division was named as Computing Sciences, and subsequently, in 1998-99, once again on the recommendations of the QRT, the division was renamed as Computer Applications.

A comprehensive Enterprise Recourse Planning system network (ICAR-ERP) has been developed and implemented for the ICAR for automating the various business processes and functions in ICAR. It is being used by all ICAR institutes for performing their administrative, financial and project-related processes as well as by individuals for performing their daily official activities and storing their professional and personal information. The establishment of the ICAR Data Centre (ICAR DC) under NAIP has been the remarkable achievement of the division. On December 21, 2016, Shri Radha Mohan Singh, Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare inaugurated the ICAR-Data Centre, KVK Portal and KVK Mobile App at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute, New Delhi.
