Gajwel Dynamic Rural High School

This is a bit of an unusual spot for a school-related office, but you can find Gajwel Dynamic Rural High School’s setup at No. 97 inside Kemp Fort Mall on Old Airport Road. Most people come here for shopping, but we’ve got our space tucked away where we handle the administrative side of things. It’s a bit different than being on a traditional campus. We spend a lot of time on the phone or working through files related to the rural programs we support. The mall atmosphere is always energetic, with the music playing and people walking by the windows. Sometimes it’s hard to focus with the smells from the food court drifting over, but we manage to get the work done. Our office isn't very large. We have a couple of desks, some filing cabinets, and a few chairs for visitors who come by to ask about our programs. It’s a convenient location for people who live on this side of Bangalore, even if it feels a bit strange to be in a shopping center. We don't have classrooms here, obviously, since the actual school work happens elsewhere. This is just where the coordination happens. It’s a practical way to stay connected to the city while focusing on rural education needs. We open when the mall opens and stay until the evening rush starts. It’s just us, doing the background work.
