NSS & AICTE Community Activities

The Department of Robotics & AI actively participates in community outreach through NSS and AICTE Activity Point programmes. On 07/04/2026, 4th-semester students visited Government School Kodathi, conducting awareness sessions on education, technology, hygiene, and social responsibility. Separately, final-year students visited Dommasandra under the AICTE Activity Point Programme (VTU) to promote 100% digital transactions — educating villagers on UPI, mobile banking, and QR-code payments for financial inclusion.
