Google Institute

Google Institute is located on Chakrata Road over in Selakui. It’s quite near Raja Road, which is a landmark most people in this part of Dehradun know well. We’ve been operating here for a while, just providing a space for students to come and study. The area is 248197, a bit away from the main city center but still quite busy with traffic and people. Our setup is pretty basic. We have some classrooms with benches and enough light for reading. It gets a bit hot in the summer months, so the coolers are always running. Selakui is more of an industrial and educational hub these days, so there are always people moving around Chakrata Road. I spend a lot of my time just making sure the schedules are right and the teachers are here on time. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we do. We chose this spot because it's easy for people from the nearby villages and the housing colonies to reach. There’s a lot of noise from the street sometimes, but the students get used to it after a few days. We don’t have any big corporate backing or anything like that. It’s just us running the place. Sometimes the chai wala from next door brings over tea for the staff in the afternoons. It’s a small community feel here. We just focus on the lessons and making sure the building is open when it’s supposed to be.
