Introduction to DDI Program:

HYSEA, with Nirmaan Organization as the Knowledge and implementation partner has initiated the Disruptive Digital Intervention (DDI) project to provide a motivating and encouraging environment for high school students from socio-economically marginalized sections of the society, to make them Digitally Literate and help nurture a culture of innovation. To further this objective, it is proposed to establish a Digital Lab at Government school (with supportive school managements and good student strength).

DDI is intended to help in:
  • Bridging the digital divide among the students of Govt. Schools / Colleges
  • Create learning interest, and improve the students skillset
  • Improve learning processes and pedagogy

Problem Statement:

Most of the government schools/colleges under TSWREIS (Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institution Societies) lack with the support of Digital labs / infrastructure due to high costs / lack of support from the government.

Few examples include:
  • A lack of in-house expertise. A key principle of digital transformation is the implementation of digital technologies
  • Poor employee uptake
  • Lack of planning and strategy
  • Limited budget

Many of the meritorious students from these institutions have no access to digital technology due to which they are lacking with their technical skills and hence can’t progress in their careers and compete with the other students.

This is the major problem in all the residential schools / colleges. Hence if there would be a digital classroom in every school / college for these students, they would achieve any success in their life.

Need / Commitments for the Program:
