PathShala is a mobile app being developed by the TRIANGLE group to lead education in Bangladesh. It aims to make education more accessible through technology by providing an Android app in Bengali that allows teachers to upload lectures, results, and notices for students and parents to access. The app notifies students and parents of new materials and allows interaction between teachers, students, and parents to enhance the educational experience, especially for those in rural areas without personal computers. The developers believe this app can help decentralize and standardize education across Bangladesh as part of establishing a digital Bangladesh.

3. Features: Why is the idea unique?
 Technology makes everything easy in this modern world as well
as educational system . Unfortunately our country has poor
experience using technology in education sector . We hope this
idea will help to enrich our educational system.
 If we are to establish ourselves in the world as a proud nation,
we have to have systems of our own in our own mother tongue
for easy access of our mass people to technology.
 Most of our parents in rural area are unable to have a personal
computer but they are able to have a smart phone with android
operating system .As android is a well developed operating
system we can take this opportunity to ensure the proper use
of it .Our main aim is to educate the children in right way and
centralize the lecture.

4. Features: Why is the idea unique?
 While education is the backbone of a nation, proper
education of young minds must have the first priority.
Regretfully we notice that the environment for raising up
these wonderful minds is somehow absent. We need both
teachers and guardians to take care of our students,
where technology in Bengali can help a lot.
 Again, in stead of a website, an app on the very cellphone
can help a lot.
 Communication, sharing of knowledge can help a lot in
developing our condition. We can also decentralize the
development of education with sharing all over the
country in digital Bangladesh.
