Shiva Shakthi Education Institute

Shiva Shakthi Education Institute is situated at No 13 in Bhalki, within the Bidar district. It is a small, local setup that serves the families living in this part of town. The building is tucked away in a regular neighborhood, so it feels very much like a part of the local community. We do not have a massive campus with gates and security guards, just a straightforward entrance where everyone comes and goes. The rooms are a bit small, but we manage to fit everyone in for the different classes we run. Bidar can get quite cold in the winters and very hot in the summers, so we just adapt to whatever the weather is doing that day. There is usually a bit of noise from the street, but the students are used to it by now. We have a few cupboards filled with old books and supplies that we have gathered over the years. It is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else’s name. The staff is mostly local people who have lived in Bhalki for years. We are not a big corporate entity; we are just a small institute trying to provide some education to the local youth. There is always a lot of cleaning to do and papers to grade, but that is the reality of running a school. We just take it one day at a time and keep things simple.
