The student community at KITS Guntur has also shown tremendous leadership through its chapter of the Algorand Blockchain Club. The Club recently organised a Bootcamp for computer science and engineering students in the area, which attracted dozens of young developers from surrounding universities who are accelerating their knowledge and abilities for blockchain development.
