A group of students change the lives of residents at Hill Top Colony by adding steps to the steep hill, and tidying a network of leaky pipes
To the grateful residents of Hill Top Colony in Mahendra Hills, Secunderabad, the young team of students from Aurora’s Design Institute are ‘builders.’
Fourth year students Punna Nithish, Manish Anand, Yedla Surender, Bhati Divyansh, Alankritha Khoshekay and Srija Diddi of Jalam Team from the Habsiguda-based college are also akka and anna to the children in the colony, who admiringly follow their every brush stroke. Meanwhile, residents look forward to seeing them report at 8am every morning, as the students are improving their lives, one step at a time.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
