Creative Techno College

Out in Tamrit Colony in Angul, the air is often heavy with the smell of the nearby industries. Creative Techno College is situated right in that neighborhood. It’s an Odisha town that stays busy. We deal with older students here, mostly those interested in technical subjects. The college building is a functional structure. We don't have any fancy landscaping or a big glass lobby. Inside, there are labs with computers and some heavy equipment for the practical classes. The floors are hard concrete, and the fans hum all day to keep the humidity away. Most of us who work here live nearby in Angul. We walk or take a scooter to get to work. Our daily life involves checking attendance, organizing the lab schedules, and making sure the electricity bill is paid on time. It isn't a glamorous job. We spend a lot of time looking at spreadsheets or helping a student find a specific book in the library. During the breaks, the students stand around the gate talking about exams or jobs. We mostly stay in the staff room and eat our lunch together. The college doesn't have a big PR department or anything like that. We just do the work that needs doing. When the sun sets over Tamrit Colony, we finish up the paperwork, turn off the lights in the labs, and head out. It’s a practical place for practical learning.
