Introduction to the Assistive Technology Lab (ATL)

The Assistive Technology Lab (ATL) at B. V. Raju Institute of Technology (BVRIT), Narsapur, Medak district, Telangana, which is part of the Sri Vishnu Educational Society, is a vision of Mr. K. V. Vishnu Raju, the Chairman of BVRIT, to utilize the skills of every engineering department of the college. During his visit to many universities in the United States, one thing that ignited his mind was the Assistive Technology Program at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell.

Collaboration with the University of Massachusetts Lowell

ATL in BVRIT is thus a result of his progressive thinking, which paved the way for an MOU between the University of Massachusetts Lowell and BVRIT. He initiated the program by inviting Professor Alan Rux, founder of the Assistive Technology Program at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, USA, to BVRIT in 2009. Prof. Rux conducts a workshop on "Assistive Technology" annually during his visit to India.

Purpose and Impact of the Assistive Technology Lab

The Assistive Technology lab works for a very unique and noble cause of designing projects by the students of BVRIT for the benefit of differently-abled persons. This is also a small but definite step to mainstream people with disabilities into society.
