Sant Gadge Maharaj D Ed College

Up here on Central Naka Road in Aurangabad, Sant Gadge Maharaj D Ed College is usually a hive of activity. Since we’re right in N-6 Cidco, there are always people moving about outside. This isn't one of those quiet, secluded campuses. We deal with the heat of Maharashtra and the dust that comes off the road every day. Inside, we have students who are trying to become teachers themselves. It’s a lot of talking, practicing lessons, and sitting in the common areas talking about future jobs. The building has been here for a bit, so the walls have that lived-in look. We don’t go for anything fancy; it’s just classrooms, some offices, and a lot of paperwork. You’ll often find us sitting in the office trying to get the registers sorted or helping a student find a specific book. The fans hum along while people are studying, and during the breaks, everyone heads out for a quick snack nearby. It’s a straightforward place. We focus on the training because that’s what we’re here for. It’s not always organized perfectly, and sometimes the schedule changes at the last minute, but we figure it out. It’s just life at a teacher’s college in the city. We’re a small part of the Aurangabad Ho area, just doing what we do every semester. There’s always a bit of tea being shared in the back office while we plan the next set of exams.
