Pratham Infotech Foundation (PIF)

Pratham InfoTech Foundation (PIF) is committed to bridging the digital divide and transforming the landscape of education and employability in India. Aligned with the vision of making digital education accessible and meaningful, its mission is to create scalable models of digital learning and skill development, thereby promoting inclusive growth and long-term impact.

Major Interventions:

Through the Computer Aided Learning (CAL) and Digital Literacy as Life Skills (DLLS) initiatives, PIF introduces primary and secondary school students to interactive and contextual digital content. These programs align with national education policies and support students across multiple states by offering digital content, teacher training, and activity-based learning. It promotes student engagement and curiosity-driven learning through audio-visual tools, simplifying complex subjects and strengthening foundational skills.

The My e-School Program enhances digital access in government schools, particularly in underserved regions. It addresses key challenges like low teacher availability and poor student attendance. By blending traditional teaching methods with digital tools, PIF empowers both teachers and students, resulting in improved academic performance and learning outcomes.

To support Student Development, PIF organizes diverse events such as summer camps, digital melas, reading challenges, and science fairs. These activities provide hands-on learning experiences, foster creativity, and promote holistic development. Notable among them is the Code Unnati Hackathon, where students develop technology-driven solutions under expert mentorship, nurturing a culture of innovation.

The Skilling and Empowerment Program caters to youth and adults by offering digital literacy and 21st-century skill training. Through structured models and job placement initiatives, it enhances employability and economic independence. PIF also focuses on women and adolescents in rural areas, combining entrepreneurship training with awareness of social welfare schemes to build resilient communities. It also conducts initiatives like the IBM SkillsBuild Program, Cyber Smart Campaign, and Ocean Protection Campaign. These programs aim to build responsible digital citizens, promote environmental stewardship, and equip youth with relevant workplace skills.
