Akshara Vidyaashram

If you head down to Kondur in Cuddalore, you’ll find us at No 24, Unnamalai Chetty Chavadi. Akshara Vidyaashram sits right in that pocket of the town. It’s a busy area in the mornings with people heading to work and kids coming in. The building itself has been part of this street for a bit. We spend a lot of time making sure the classrooms are ready before the first bell rings. Cuddalore can get pretty hot, so the fans are always going. There’s a small area out front where parents wait. We don’t have much room for a massive garden, but there are a few plants near the steps. Most people around here know where we are. It’s not a complicated place to find once you get into the Kondur area. The daily routine is pretty set. We start early and the hallways get noisy fast. Then it quietens down when lessons start. You might hear some chanting or singing from the younger ones if you walk by the windows. We deal with the usual things, like fixing a leaky tap or painting the walls during the breaks. It’s just a regular school life at Akshara Vidyaashram. No 24 is a familiar spot for many families living in the 607006 zip code. We just keep doing what we do every day without much fuss. There is no need for anything extra when you have a job to do.
