ZPHS Janwada to Become First Telangana Government School With Robotic Teachers

On July 8, the state government and Indus International School Hyderabad signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to uplift the ZPHS Janwada government school in Hyderabad. Under this partnership, ZPHS Janwada is set to become the first government school in Telangana to introduce humanoid robotic teachers into its daily classroom learning, directly benefiting its 750 students.

The MoU was formally exchanged by Dr. E. Naveen Nicolas, the Director of School Education, and Farida Fraz, the Principal of Indus International School Hyderabad. The agreement outlines plans to provide comprehensive building repairs, academic classroom support, and three humanoid robotic teachers to the school.

According to the school education department, the robotic teachers are expected to be introduced shortly. Beyond technology, the collaboration will cover academic mentoring, leadership development, and student activities. Students from both ZPHS Janwada and Indus International School Hyderabad are also expected to participate in joint service-learning and twinning activities.

Principal Fraz stated that the partnership reflects a shared commitment with the government of Telangana to create a sustainable model of excellence in public education that empowers every child to realise their full potential.

Samuel Joseph, the head of the community school project at Indus Schools, revealed that infrastructure work on the Janwada campus has already been underway for the past eight months. He noted that the old school building was previously in a condition where children could not sit in classrooms, and they did not have access to washrooms. To address this, a new G+2 building featuring spacious classrooms has been constructed.

Joseph added that Janwada was chosen for the project because of its close proximity to Indus International School and its large enrollment of students who needed better basic facilities. This initiative follows a similar project undertaken by the Indus School five years ago in Kondakal, where they reconstructed a primary school and established labs, computer labs, and a library in the secondary school.
