Adarsh Academy

Finding Adarsh Academy isn't too hard if you know where Dighali Pukhuri is. We are right on the east side of the water. Guwahati can get very crowded, especially around Fancy Bazar, but being near the pond makes it feel a little more open. We’ve been operating out of this spot for a while now. The building isn't brand new or anything, but it stays cool enough in the summer months. Usually, you can hear the traffic from the main road, but inside the rooms it gets a bit quieter. Most students walk over or get dropped off near the entrance. We have a few rooms with basic chairs and whiteboards. It’s a busy area so there is always someone coming or going. Sometimes we grab tea from the stall nearby when there's a break between the sessions. The stairs are a bit narrow, so people have to be careful when the classes change and everyone is moving at once. We don't have a big lobby or a front desk with a computer. It’s just a small space where we keep our registers and talk to parents. It’s practical. We focus on the books and the lessons. If you're coming from the station side, it’s a straight shot once you cross the main market area. It gets quite lively in the evenings when the lights come on around the pukhuri. We just keep our heads down and get through the syllabus.
