Opepa Ministry Of Hrd Goi

You can find our office at the Atsarva Sikhya Abhiyan center in Kendrapara, Orissa. We work under the Opepa umbrella and the Ministry of HRD. It’s a government-related setup, so things move at their own pace here. Our daily lives revolve around improving school facilities and making sure kids in the district are getting an education. It involves a lot of record-keeping and meeting with local officials from the villages. The office is pretty basic with simple wooden desks and fans that hum all day long. It gets quite humid here in Orissa, so we just try to stay cool while we work through the applications and reports. We aren't some big corporate firm with a marketing department or a website. We are just local staff members who know the community in Kendrapara. We spend a lot of time visiting schools or checking on building projects in the nearby areas. It’s practical work that doesn't need much explaining. Sometimes we have to deal with power cuts or slow computer systems, but that’s just part of the life here. We don't have a fancy mission statement on the wall. We just show up and do the work that needs to be done for the schools. It’s been our routine for years and we are comfortable with it, even if it gets a bit hectic. We try to be helpful to everyone who visits.
