About Service Learning at SIT Hyderabad

Symbiosis International (Deemed University) (SIU) is committed to delivering holistic and industry-relevant education to students across disciplines. As part of its vision to shape socially responsible citizens, SIT Hyderabad actively integrates service learning into its academic framework, encouraging students to contribute meaningfully to society beyond the classroom.

Service learning is an experiential and reflective pedagogy that blends academic instruction with purposeful community engagement. It enables students—especially undergraduates—to apply their learning in real-world contexts through outreach activities, humanitarian social service, and involvement in various social cause initiatives. This not only enriches academic understanding but also instills values of empathy, civic responsibility, and sustainable community impact.

Through this initiative, SIT Hyderabad strives to foster social change by preparing students to become compassionate problem-solvers and active contributors to societal development.
