The DISRUPTIVE DIGITAL INTERVENTION ( DDI ) is a signature initiative of HYSEA, the main focus being bridging the digital divide in schools of Rural and Urban Telangana.

It has been observed that students from the Govt. High Schools miss on Technology and Computer based skills in turn missing on Employment opportunities in the future.

Thus, HYSEA in partnership with Government of Telangana and Nirmaan Organization proposes to establish Digital Labs at Government High Schools which have supportive school managements and good student strength.

THE OBJECTIVE of the program is to provide Computer Education to the students of Government High Schools so that the children are not just capable of using computers but also technology updated.
