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. PIF is committed to ensuring e-education for all.

The NGO's main programs are:

  • 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 instill 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.
  • E-School: This program is an aim 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.
  • India Digital Inclusion Program (IDI Program): Youth with limited education and from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are covered by this program. The aim is 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 centers have placement cells, ensuring adequate interview opportunities through placement agencies. Trainers are provided 2-3 days refresher courses every quarter. It is not uncommon for successful candidates of the IDI program to become PIF trainers in their communities.
  • 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.

PIF also designs, develops, maintains and promotes localized online content for providing relevant information based on community priorities. They engage with community stakeholders in the process of online content creation and information dissemination.
