Shri Aurobinda Institute Of Integrated Study

You can find us on Khandagiri Road, not too far from the Baramunda Bus Stand. It’s a very recognizable part of Bhubaneshwar because of the caves and the constant flow of travelers. Shri Aurobinda Institute of Integrated Study is a bit of a mouthful, but we just call it the center here. The building is right on the main stretch, so it's easy to spot, though the traffic noise can be a bit much during the rush hours. We have a few different rooms set up for various subjects. It's an integrated study approach, so we have people coming in for all sorts of different things. The floors are made of that old stone that stays cool in the summer, which is a blessing. We’ve got some mismatched chairs and a few old fans that creak when they are on the highest setting. It feels like a lived-in space because it is. We aren't trying to impress anyone with the decor. There are hand-written notices taped to the door and a small area where students can leave their bags. Being near the bus stand means we have people coming from all over. We see a lot of students who have traveled quite a distance just to sit in a class for a couple of hours. It’s a busy, functional environment where the focus is purely on the lessons and nothing else. We just do our part day by day.
