Sangareddy: As part of digital transformation, the Indian Institute of Technology-Hyderabad (IIT-H) has upgraded eight classrooms to Hybrid mode with CSR initiative by Cyient Foundation under the vision of Inventing and Innovating in technology for humanity.

Dr BVR Mohan Reddy, founder chairman and board member, Cyient and Chairman, Board of Governors, IIT-H and IIT-Roorkee, inaugurated the facility in the presence of Director of IIT-H Prof B S Murty here at IIT-H campus at Kandi in Sangareddy district on Monday.

Hybrid classrooms incorporate live streaming video of in-person class activities that serve as a two-way conversation, integrating remote and in-person students in a singular environment. Hybrid learning can improve the flexibility and customisation of classes, the accessibility of education, and the use of digital tools during any course proceedings. This experience will facilitate an all-around better teaching and learning environment for faculty and students.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof BS Murty has welcomed the initiative taken up by Cyient Foundation to upgrade the academic arena of IIT-H, Dr Mohan Reddy said, “The unprecedented circumstances for last two years has accelerated digital transformation of education and learning. The new norm will be hybrid learning with infrastructure in classrooms with smart boards, AV projection systems, and interactive virtual platforms. I am delighted IIT-H has initiated actions to create the new classrooms. Cyient Foundation is very pleased to support this game-changing initiative for efficient and effective student learning”.

Expressing his delight, Prof Murty “We are thankful to Cyient Foundation for their generous gesture and wish many more such helping hands come forward to convert every classroom at IIT-H into Hybrid Classrooms. This is a small step towards the Digital India Mission. We have recently launched a portal ‘’Giving to IIT-H’ where many such opportunities to support IIT-H have been listed”.
