Anju: Digitally Empowered

Anju is a homemaker from a simple rural family and a student of Apni Pathshala under Yuva Jagriti Sansthan (POD-2). Her husband is a farmer, and the family lives with limited resources but strong belief in hard work and self-improvement. Along with managing household responsibilities, Anju had a strong interest in learning. Understanding that computer knowledge is an essential life skill in today’s digital world, she joined Apni Pathshala to become digitally literate. Balancing family duties and studies was challenging at first. She struggled with technology in the beginning, but through regular practice, teacher guidance, and determination, she learned basic to advanced computer skills and gained confidence. Using her digital skills, Anju created a free online exam website that allows students to take computer-based exams using a mobile, tablet, or computer. The platform saves time, reduces costs, and is especially useful for rural and underprivileged students who lack access to exam practice resources. Today, Anju is a digitally empowered woman contributing to society through her skills and initiative. Her journey shows that with willingness to learn, responsibilities and background are not barriers to growth.
