University Grants Commission, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, Delhi

This is the University Grants Commission, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, Delhi, but our day-to-day work happens at 476, Katra Rewarian in Delhi Mandi, 110 007. It’s an interesting spot because Katra Rewarian is right in the heart of the old trading areas. Delhi Mandi is always buzzing with people and goods moving around. Our office here is more about the administrative side of things. It’s a historic part of India. The building itself has seen a lot of years go by. We aren't a university ourselves, but we handle the groundwork that helps them. Working in such a crowded, busy area means you have to be patient. The streets are narrow and there’s always something happening right outside the window. We spend our days going through paperwork and managing various files. It’s not the kind of place with shiny glass walls. It’s stone and old bricks. We keep things organized as best as we can. Being on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg is our main identity, but this Katra Rewarian location is where a lot of the actual day-to-day stuff happens. It’s a bit of a maze to get here if you aren't familiar with the Mandi. We don't mind the chaos of the market. It’s just part of being in this part of Delhi. We just stay focused on the work. There are plenty of tea sellers nearby who keep us going during long afternoons of filing papers and sorting documents.
