        description={
            A Database Management System is a software system which enables the creation, organization, and management of databases.
            It generally acts as an interface between the database and client applications, ensuring that data is consistently
            stored and readily accessible in a secure and efficient manner, while maintaining data integrity.
            They can manage various forms of data, including text, numbers, multimedia, and more.
            The DBMS plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity, consistency, and security of the data it handles.
