Vidhya Vidhai Foundation

You can find us at number 6 on Kamaraj Salai in Ashok Nagar. It’s a well-known part of Chennai, and our office is right there among the shops and houses. The building is a bit older, with those heavy wooden doors that sometimes stick in the humidity. Inside, we have a few rooms filled with books and educational materials. It’s not a polished space; the walls have some scuffs and the furniture is a mix of different styles we’ve picked up over time. We spend most of our hours here talking about schools and how kids are doing with their studies. Often, teachers or parents will drop by to pick up something or just to chat about the local education scene. We don't have a receptionist or anything like that. If the bell rings, whoever is closest to the door gets up to answer it. It’s a very informal atmosphere. We use a lot of whiteboards to sketch out ideas, and they’re usually covered in scribbles that only we understand. The traffic on Kamaraj Salai is always moving, so there’s a constant hum of engines in the background. We like being in the heart of the neighborhood though. It makes it easier for people to reach us. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a fancy office. We just want a place where we can sit down and get our work done for the community.
