Pratham Infotech Foundation (PIF) aims to bridge the digital divide by facilitating the adoption of IT in education and equipping disadvantaged youth with skills & tools that the new global economy demands. Affiliated with Pratham, an NGO that works to provide quality education to the underprivileged children of India, PIF runs IT based training, educational and community capacity building programs in underserved schools and communities. It is committed to ensuring e-education for all.

Major Interventions:

Computer Aided Learning (CAL) and Digital Literacy as Life Skill (DLLS) are PIF’s flagship programs. CAL aims to provide appropriate exposure to primary school children by simplifying understanding of new/difficult concepts through use of IT, whereas DLLS aims to instil in secondary school students the skills and abilities on effective use of IT tools in everyday life, including basic programming. PIF has developed educational content (workbooks, games, videos) and assessment criteria.

India Digital Inclusion Program (IDI): Youth between the age groups of 14-30 years with limited education and from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are covered with an aim to help them develop IT skills, improve interpersonal skills and gain professional development exposure. This impacts their ability to jumpstart careers in various sectors and find desired job opportunities. All centres have placement cells, ensuring adequate interview opportunities through placement agencies. The youth are also introduced to various online platforms like banking, shopping and paying utility bills, they are encouraged to use IT as one of the sources to enhance their knowledge base.

The E-School program aims to incorporate digital education technology into the traditional school curriculum through a hybrid model to promote Digital India. This concept uses audio and visual means for E-learning. These supplementary learning aids create a more captivating, informative, and personalized learning experience, simplifying the understanding of new or complex concepts, fostering learning competencies, and making early childhood education more enjoyable.

Saksham: This initiative focuses on training school leaders from Primary and Secondary sections grade with innovative methods of teaching which eventually results into holistic development of students and providing low-income families with better quality of education. Whereas,

PIF also designs, develops, maintains, and promotes localized online content to provide relevant information based on community priorities. Awareness sessions on health and government schemes are conducted for women and community members to promote good health, ensuring that people can benefit from these initiatives.
