Any individual, organization, or nonprofit can apply to establish a new Apni Pathshala learning pod in their area. If you have the space and the intention to provide educational opportunities to students in your community, we provide the necessary computers and infrastructure.
We review hundreds of applications each month, typically approving 1 out of every 5 applications.
Before applying, ensure you have the following:
- A space you own or rent, with a dedicated room of at least 20 feet x 10 feet for your Apni Pathshala learning pod.
- Tables to accommodate 10 computers and peripherals such as monitors, keyboards, and mice securely.
- Two electrical sockets per computer, one for the computer and one for the monitors.
- Extension cords are acceptable.
- A minimum internet connection of 10 MBPS, preferably on WIFI.
- Adequate manpower and resources familiar with computer operations, willing and capable of managing a computer-based learning center for at least 12 months.
Here's what you'll receive:
• 10x Selligion Praho 2 computers.
• 10x Computer Monitors.
• 10x USB Webcams.
• 10x Wired Headphones.
• 10x Wired Keyboard+Mouse.
In return, we expect you to adhere to a predetermined learning plan, share weekly and monthly updates, and actively participate in our communities of learners and POD leads. Additionally, you must ensure that all students feel welcome in your learning center and create an environment that fosters learning and sharing opportunities.
Absolutely. You're free to charge a fee from your learners, and we do not want any part of it. We encourage POD leads to monetize their services as it helps them sustain their centers and add more services, providing more value to their students.
Yes, boss. The computers are delivered to you for a duration of 12 months, after which Apni Pathshala may pick up these computers and deliver them to a learning pod just like yours. We hope and expect you to take good care of the computers and ensure that they are in working condition to enable us to deliver them to other centers after a period of 12 months.
Super simple - Our Selligion Praho computers are covered under a device replacement warranty available during the first 12 months of deployment. As long as you do not misuse, break, destroy, over-clock, or use the device for any non-educational purpose, we happily replace your device in case it encounters any hardware or manufacturing error.
