In the rapidly advancing digital landscape of India, internet connectivity has become a fundamental necessity, driving economic growth, education, and social development. To bridge the digital divide and ensure universal internet access for all citizens, the Government of India launched the groundbreaking PM-WANI (Prime Minister's Wi-Fi Access Network Interface) WiFi Scheme. At the heart of this transformative initiative are the Public Data Offices (PDOs), entities that provide internet services to end-users through public Wi-Fi networks. Collaborating closely with PDOs, the Public Data Office Partners (PDOPs) play a pivotal role in enabling seamless connectivity and contributing to the nation's vision of a digitally empowered India.

A Public Data Office Partner (PDOP) is an integral component of the PM-WANI WiFi Scheme, acting as a facilitator and enabler of internet connectivity. PDOPs collaborate with PDOs to establish and manage public Wi-Fi networks, ensuring the efficient delivery of internet services to citizens across the country. They serve as technology solution providers, network infrastructure experts, and support systems for PDOs, enhancing the overall quality of public Wi-Fi services and driving digital inclusion.
