Good Shepherd Educational Institute

Our place is over on Nivedita Road in Siliguri, down one of the bye lanes in Pradhan Nagar. It’s a fairly quiet part of town compared to the main markets. We are situated quite close to the Nature Cure Hospital, which is the easiest way for people to find us if they aren't from this specific block. The building is simple and doesn't stand out much from the houses nearby. Inside, we have a few rooms set up for the students. There is always a stack of notebooks on the main desk and some pens that may or may not work. We spend our mornings getting the registers ready and making sure the rooms are aired out. The weather in Siliguri can be a bit unpredictable, so we’re always checking if the windows are shut properly before we leave at night. It’s not a large institute with hundreds of staff members. It’s just a few of us making sure everything stays on track. We see the same faces every day, and we’ve gotten to know the families around Pradhan Nagar pretty well. Sometimes we sit out on the steps during a break just to catch some fresh air. It’s a very ordinary way of doing things, but it works for us. We don't feel the need to make it look like a big corporate office because that’s not who we are.
