  "account": "Faculty members from the Indian Institute of Technology - Hyderabad (IIT-H) have commenced teaching at the Sammakka Sarakka Central Tribal University (SSCTU) in Mulugu, following an agreement between the two institutions. As per the Memorandum of Understanding, IIT-H is tasked with mentoring and designing academic programs offered by SSCTU to elevate their standards. This is an uncommon occurrence, but the SSCTU managed to bring in IIT-H faculty to expose rural students to world-class educators. In partnership with IIT Hyderabad, SSCTU has launched a B.Tech program in Computer Science and Engineering with a focus on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CSE-AIML) and a B.Sc. (Hons.) program in Computer Science and Data Analytics, starting from the 2026-27 academic year. Additionally, SSCTU is collaborating with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Hyderabad, to evaluate the introduction of skill development programs for local communities, according to Vice Chancellor Y.L. Srinivas.",
