Start a Digital Learning Centre in Your Community and Help Students Learn Digital Skills
In many parts of India, students still don’t have access to quality digital education. They want to learn, but lack the right tools, guidance, and environment. A POD bridges this gap by creating a local learning space where students can learn and grow.
We partner with government and private schools to provide digital skills training using simple tools and guidance, making traditional learning more engaging.

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. The aim is to help local educators and changemakers bring quality digital education to students in their own communities whether in big cities like Mumbai and Delhi or in smaller towns and villages across India.
