Nepal is at a crossroads of technological transformation. While cities like Kathmandu are slowly embracing digital education, the students of Chitwan — one of Nepal's most vibrant and growing cities — have long deserved the same access to cutting-edge skills. Pathashala Learning Center, established in 2024 at Bharatpur-9, Sharadpur, is changing that story.

"Learn Today, Lead Tomorrow" — the motto of Pathashala Learning Center isn't just a tagline. It's a blueprint for how Chitwan's next generation will compete on a global stage.

Why Robotics? Why Now?

Automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics are no longer subjects reserved for universities in Kathmandu or abroad. The World Economic Forum estimates that over 85 million jobs will be displaced by automation by 2025 — while 97 million new roles emerge that require skills like programming, electronics, and systems thinking. Chitwan's youth cannot afford to be left behind.

Arduino-based robotics training is the perfect entry point. It is hands-on, affordable, and directly translatable to real-world engineering and product development. Students learn to build, program, and troubleshoot — skills that employers in manufacturing, IT, agritech, and infrastructure are actively seeking.

What We Teach

Pathashala's robotics curriculum is designed to take a complete beginner from zero to builder. Courses are structured around real projects — not just theory — so students leave each session with something they made with their own hands.

Core Program Highlights

• Arduino Fundamentals — wiring, sensors, actuators, and basic C++ programming
• Robotics Mechanics — chassis design, servo motors, and movement logic
• AI Integration — intro to machine learning concepts applied to robotics
• Finance for Innovators — entrepreneurship and monetising tech skills, led by international expert Amrit Poudel (USA)
• Project Showcase — students present working prototypes to peers and industry guests

Meet the Experts Behind the Program

What makes Pathashala unique is the calibre of people guiding it. This is not a generic computer course — it is led by practitioners with deep domain expertise.

The Chitwan Opportunity

Chitwan is not just a tourist destination. It is a rapidly urbanising region with a young population hungry for opportunity. Pathashala Learning Center's launch in Bharatpur-9, Sharadpur, puts world-class technical education within reach of students who previously had to travel or move cities to access it.

The program is also designed with teachers in mind. Pathashala trains educators alongside students — building a multiplier effect that will ripple through schools across the district.

When you teach a student to build a robot, you give them a skill. When you teach a teacher to teach robotics, you change a generation.

Partnering with PEK Academy

Pathashala Learning Center is proud to collaborate with PEK Academy to bring this robotics initiative to Chitwan. PEK Academy's framework for Arduino and embedded systems education, combined with Pathashala's local knowledge and expert faculty, creates a powerful partnership for Nepali learners.

This blog is published as part of that collaboration — and we encourage every student, parent, and educator in Chitwan to explore what's possible.
