A POD (Point of Digital Learning) is a small digital learning center set up in a local community by individuals, schools, or NGOs, with support from Apni Pathshala. Each POD is equipped with Apna PC computers and easy-to-use learning tools that help students learn computer basics, creativity, communication, and coding.
Apni Pathshala supports POD leaders by providing training, technology, and continuous guidance.
