Anna University

In Coimbatore, we are over at 41 Barathi Park, specifically on the 3rd Cross. It is a decent area, and having the park nearby makes it feel a bit nicer than being right in the middle of a market. This Anna University office handles a lot of the local coordination and paperwork for the region. It’s a steady kind of place. We start the day by sorting through the mail and checking what needs to be filed. The staff here has been around for a long time, so we all know the routine pretty well. It gets busy during admission season or when results are being announced. Then, the office is full of people and the phones don't stop ringing. Most of the time, though, it’s just us keeping things ticking over. We have a few cupboards that are bulging with records and some old computers that we probably should have replaced years ago. It’s a very practical environment. We don’t go in for fancy decor or anything like that. We just provide a place where students and teachers can get their questions answered and their documents processed. It feels like a small community here in Coimbatore. We know the local shops and the people who walk their dogs in the park. It is a quiet but busy life working for the university.
