Swecha is making forays into other major cities in Andhra Pradesh.

Swecha has been instrumental in propagating the importance of Free Software among various sections like Students, academicians and working professionals. There are hundreds of students who are active members of Swecha’s activities throughout the city of Hyderabad.

As part of its programme to educate students of various engineering colleges outside Hyderabad, Swecha organised an introductory session for students of various engineering colleges in and around Visakhapatnam (Vizag) on 11th of this month.
