Tribal varsity induction programme of IIT-Hyderabad, TISS courses held
The Sammakka Sarakka Central Tribal University has launched new academic collaborations with IIT-Hyderabad and TISS to enhance its curriculum. The initiative aims to improve student employability and infrastructure through partnerships with leading institutions.
Why it matters
These partnerships represent a significant effort to bridge the gap between central tribal education and premier technical/social science institutions in India.
The Sammakka Sarakka Central Tribal University (SSCTU), Mulugu, has strengthened its academic offerings by launching collaborative programmes with the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT-H) and the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Hyderabad, for the academic year 2026-27.
More than 105 students from nine States have joined the new programmes this year. They were formally welcomed at an induction programme held at the university’s transit campus at Jakkaram.
Addressing the students online, IIT-H Director B.S. Murty said the institute would extend full support to SSCTU in strengthening teaching and learning as well as augmenting its academic and infrastructure capabilities. He described the arrangement as a distinctive initiative as IIT-H faculty would directly undertake teaching responsibilities for students of another Central University.
