CYIENT vijAIpatha to Empower more than 2,000 Students across Five Government Schools

Hosapete, December 20, 2025: Cyient Foundation, the CSR arm of Cyient, announced the launch of CYIENT vijAIpatha, a transformative initiative designed to equip students from government schools with future-ready skills in Artificial Intelligence, STEM, Robotics, Coding, and Digital Innovation.

The project, implemented in collaboration with the Department of Education, Government of Karnataka, was launched by Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, Honorable  Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, Government of India, in the presence of Dr. BVR Mohan Reddy, Founder Chairman, Cyient Limited, here today.

The pilot, deployed across five government schools in Hosapete Taluka, Vijayanagara District, will empower more than 2,000 students from Classes 6 to10 and train over 100 teachers through comprehensive capacity-building programs. The project will establish five fully equipped AI–STEM laboratories, impacting approximately 6,000 households. Each school will receive a fully functional AI Lab, complete with computers, IoT-enabled devices, STEM and robotics kits, and broadband connectivity. In addition, over 200 teachers will undergo structured training to ensure long-term impact and sustainability.

Aligned with NEP 2020, Digital India, and Viksit Bharat 2047, CYIENT vijAIpatha aims to strengthen digital readiness among rural students and bridge the technology access gap in underserved communities.

“At Cyient, we believe that technology-driven education is the foundation for an equitable and future-ready India. The initiative reflects our commitment to empowering young learners with the skills, curiosity, and confidence to thrive in a digital world. By partnering with the Government of Karnataka, we aim to enable students to become creators of technology, not just consumers, and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s vision for Viksit Bharat 2047,” said Dr. B.V.R. Mohan Reddy, Founder Chairman, Cyient.

Through hands-on workshops, project-based learning, and innovation challenges, students will not only gain technical knowledge but also learn to apply AI and STEM tools to address real-world community problems. The program includes structured monitoring, evaluation, and certification to track impact and promote continuous improvement.

CYIENT vijAIpatha represents a scalable model for AI education and embodies Cyient Foundation’s larger vision of “Empowering Tomorrow Together” by equipping India’s youth with future-ready skills. 

Building on its strong track record, Cyient Foundation has successfully digitized over 120 government schools, reaching more than 35,000 students with digital literacy. Through its Adopt-a-School initiative, over 21,000 children are currently receiving quality education. Beyond education, the Foundation has also championed women’s empowerment and rural development.
