These subjects were introduced with the aim of exciting students on the possibilities of immersive technologies while educating them to become responsible digital citizens. The subjects cover important aspects for students like digital etiquette, cybersecurity, cyberbullying, information literacy, using the internet for social good, and the future of our digital world with topics such as AI, AR/VR, and the Metaverse with experiential and activity-based learning at the core of the pedagogy.

To help understand more and enable more schools to opt for these skills subjects, a virtual orientation session is being organized for Principals/Heads of the Institutions, and subsequently Capacity Building Sessions will be conducted every month for teachers of all CBSE-affiliated schools.
