Raghunath Pradhan Foundation

Raghunath Pradhan Foundation is located over in Utkal Vatika. We’re in Flat-405 on the fourth floor of Block-D. It’s a bit of a climb if the lift is acting up, which happens now and then. Bhubaneswar is a busy place, and being in Khorda means we see a lot of different people every day. Our office is just a regular flat that we’ve turned into a workspace. It’s got a kitchen where we make way too much coffee and a main room where most of the work happens. We don't have any big signs or flashy lights. It’s just a quiet place where we get things done. We deal with a lot of paperwork and local issues. Sometimes it feels like we’re drowning in forms, but that’s just part of the job. We aren't trying to be anything we’re not. We’re just a small group of people who care about what happens in our city. The view from the fourth floor is actually pretty nice in the evenings. We usually start our day early before the heat gets too bad. We don't have a receptionist, so if you knock and no one answers, we’re probably just busy in the back or out on a site visit. It’s a simple life here at Utkal Vatika. We try to keep things honest and just do what we can for the people around us. That’s pretty much the whole story of our foundation.
