Badi Daayi Gram Vikas Sanstha

We set up our spot in Chandela Nagar right on Ring Road Number 2. Being at Mig-B/40A means we hear all the trucks and buses roaring past at all hours. It can get pretty noisy during our meetings but we’ve gotten used to the sound of the traffic. Bilaspur can be so hot in the summer and our office definitely feels it. We have these heavy curtains to block out the sun but they also block the breeze. The floor gets a bit dusty from the road construction nearby so we’re always sweeping up. It’s just a regular house that we’ve turned into our workspace. We use the kitchen area for storing our supplies and the living room is where all the actual work happens. There’s a small garden out front that has mostly gone to weeds but we try to keep it tidy when we have a spare moment. We don’t have any big corporate logos on the walls or anything fancy like that. Just some old chairs and a couple of desks we found. Most people find us because of the big tree near the gate. It’s a busy part of town but we like being where all the action is. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit on the porch until it comes back on. It’s not a perfect setup but it suits us just fine for now. We usually share a lunch brought from home at the main table.
