== Strategy #1: Introducing clubsVignan’s Institute of Information Technology (VIIT) was established in 2002 in the City of Destiny, Visakhapatnam, to cater to the educational needs of the general public. The experience gained by Vignan through its earlier institutions at Guntur has only helped in establishing very high quality standards right from the inception and also is one of the reasons for the success of the present institution. VIIT aims to produce globally competent engineers who are socially conscious, emotionally balanced and psychologically strong.

We propose basic clubs which are currently lacking in our institutionStudents get hands on experience on theory learnt through projects. While going through stages of data collection, compilation,analysis and interference students enhace their competencies like English club, coding clubcommunication, design critical thinking courses, cultural clubs. Club membership will allow students to continue some of your interests and hobbies that they had in high school. Being in a club is a nice extracurricular activity outside of class and it looks good on resume. It may allow them access to different types of resources or even field trips. Students can explore their interests in a hobby they’ve always wanted to try or learn more about. We plan to implement it by working along with faculty and management to find a feasible time for running of the clubs, and planning out course structures.inter-personal skills

== Strategy #2: Industry-Institute connect<br/> ==VIIT has always showed interest in innovation and entrepreneurial environment and puts its hands first to develop such skills in the students. As part of this, Entrepreneurship Development (ED) cell and Centre For Innovation (CFI) has been established in the VIIT campus, which creates a platform for students to express their ideas. Here the ideas will be groomed with the help of the faculty. Recently, VIIT has been recognised as host institution for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), a government of India scheme, which provides some space to flourish the ideas. The innovative ideas of the students help them to become successful entrepreneurs. Further to create and foster entrepreneurial culture among students Entrepreneurship club was started in the campus. Recently College Connect program run by TV5 News, under Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) was held, in which CEO’s of various companies interacted and motivated students to become entrepreneurs. Furthermore they also agreed to train the students to achieve their goals. ED cell and CFI conducts various workshops and awareness programs, like Entrepreneurship Awarness Camp by CED, Millionminds Startup Life by budding entrepreneurs, Drone designing, Zero waste management etc. Furthermore, many competitions at campus level and National level are conducted, which provides a platform for the students to present their ideas and raise funds. Along with Innovation & Entrepreneurship, VIIT concentrates on community service oriented activities. As part of it, NSS(National Service Scheme) has been introduced in the campus. The main objective of this scheme is education and service to the community and by the community. Under this organisation, VIIT students have been participating in all societal activities.
