Panacea Institute

You can find us at B-286 on the Gopalpura Bypass Road. It’s right across from Narayan Niwas, which most people in this part of Jaipur know well. The bypass is always loud with heavy trucks and cars zooming past, so there is usually a bit of dust in the air. We try to keep the front doors shut to block out the noise. Inside Panacea Institute, the atmosphere is much more settled. We have several rooms divided by thin walls, so you can sometimes hear the murmur of voices from the next room over. The desks are a bit old, and the chairs are the standard plastic ones that you see everywhere. We have a small area near the entrance where people can wait, but it’s not very big. Most of our day is spent managing the flow of people and making sure the supplies are topped up. We have a lot of books and files stacked on the shelves behind the main desk. It gets pretty busy in the late afternoon when the schools let out and everyone starts showing up at once. The lighting is just normal tube lights, and we have a few posters on the walls that have been there for years. It’s a very practical, no-frills kind of place. We just focus on keeping the schedule running and making sure everyone has a place to sit. It works for what we do.
