There is a great dedication and commitment found in Podar's Principals and Teachers, many of whom have been honoured by both the Central and State Governments. The use of technology in teaching is also strongly emphasized in all Podar schools, with state-of-the-art computer labs and interactive boards installed in classrooms.
