Aqriti Program in Hyderabad, India
As featured in Qualcomm's 2020 Corporate Responsibility Report
Qualcomm India launched its flagship program, Aqriti, in 2017 to provide underprivileged girls in India with increased access to STEM education. The program supports the government’s efforts to enhance girl child education. Prior to the COVID-19 health crisis, Qualcomm employees conducted in-person robotics workshops, career guidance sessions for students, and in-person workshops for teachers to train them in the STEM learning materials. When schools closed in response to the pandemic, the Aqriti program provided students and teachers with self-learning materials to ensure continued engagement in STEM until schools resumed normal operations.
Since its inception, Aqriti has impacted more than 56,000 children and more than 2,200 teachers across 278 schools in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, and Chennai.
