If you walked into one of our learning PODs today, you’d see something incredible. A 12-year-old girl coding her own game. A teenager managing an entire learning center. A group of kids who once struggled with computers now teach others how to use them. This isn’t just education, it’s a revolution. In 2024, Apni Pathshala didn’t just expand—we changed lives. From launching new PODs to helping students become self-sufficient digital learners, this year has been one of impact, growth, and breaking barriers. Let’s take a look at what we’ve built together.  Our Mission & Vision  At Apni Pathshala, we believe that education is the key to empowerment. Our mission is simple but powerful: Our vision is simple: a digitally literate India where learning isn’t just about getting a degree but about building something meaningful. We want to empower young entrepreneurs to run their own PODs turning them into growing spaces of knowledge, growth, and opportunity. And the beauty of it? When one student succeeds, they lift others with them. It’s about creating a community where knowledge, success, and opportunities keep flowing—person to person, POD to POD, shaping a better future for everyone! What We Achieved in 2024? But numbers only tell part of the story. The true impact lies in the lives we’ve touched. Stories That Inspire Vedika (Atma Foundation POD) – The 12-Year-Old Game Developer  At just 12 years old, Vedika isn’t just learning to code—she’s creating her own games using Scratch and Python. What started as curiosity has turned into a full-blown passion. She now dreams of becoming a software engineer, proving that when given the right tools, kids don’t just learn, they innovate. Nikhil (CSC Patel Nagar POD, Delhi) – The Teenage Mentor  Nikhil is a Class 12 student with a leadership mindset. He manages an entire POD, overseeing the daily learning of 30+ students. Despite his responsibilities, he continues to upskill himself through advanced courses. His story is proof that education is not just about learning, it’s about lifting others along the way. Kalpavriksha Seva Trust POD – A Student-Led Revolution  This isn’t just a POD—it’s a movement. The students who once came here to learn are now running the POD themselves. From teaching new learners to managing daily operations, this POD has proven that empowered students become future leaders. The Launch of the Apna PC Initiative  We’ve all heard it—“Access to technology can change lives.” But what if a child wants to learn to code, build projects, or explore the internet, and there’s no computer at home? That’s where Apna PC comes in.  What is Apna PC?A game-changer for students who dream big but lack resources. We provide affordable, high-quality refurbished PCs so that learning doesn’t stop when they leave a POD—it continues at home. Why Does It Matter? For many kids, this isn’t just about a computer—it’s about a future they never thought possible. With Apna PC, we’re ensuring that every home can be a learning space. Challenges We Faced & Overcame There are always two sides of a coin- if you have great aims, you are bound to face challenges. As they say, every great journey comes with its hurdles, here’s what we handled this year: So you see, every challenge was a stepping stone in disguise! Apni Pathshala 2.0: How is it different from AP 1.0? Apni Pathshala 1.0 laid the foundation. It was all about bringing digital literacy to underserved communities. But Apni Pathshala 2.0? More than an upgrade, it’s a revolution. A bigger, bolder, and better version of everything we’ve built so far. 🔹 Structured for Success – In 1.0, we launched learning PODs. In 2.0, we nurture, support, and ensure they become self-sustaining. Each POD now follows a 15-month structured roadmap, moving from setup to full independence. No more guesswork. No more uncertainty. Just clear steps toward lasting impact. 🔹 Beyond the Basics – In 1.0, students learned how to use digital tools. In 2.0, they master AI, cybersecurity, and data science. We’re not just teaching digital literacy anymore, we’re building future-ready innovators. 🔹 From Learning to Leading – 1.0 gave students knowledge. 2.0 gives them power. With the Brand Ambassador Program, students don’t just learn—they lead. They don’t just consume knowledge—they spread it. They don’t just study—they mentor, advocate, and build their communities. 🔹 Scaling Like Never Before – Apni Pathshala 1.0 was big. But 2.0? It’s massive. We’re scaling to 150+ active learning PODs by the end of 2025, ensuring more students, more impact, and more lives transformed. Apni Pathshala 2.0 isn’t just a new version. It’s a movement. A movement that takes everything we did in 1.0 and makes it bigger, stronger, and more impactful. Because education isn’t just about learning—it’s about changing lives, creating leaders, and shaping the future.  How Can You Help? To keep growing, we need YOU.
