National Environmental Engineering Research Institute

Our office is over at 93/2 Garfa Main Road in Kolkata. If you know South Kolkata, you know this area is always moving and very loud. It is a busy street with shops and people everywhere you look. We are right in the middle of it all, doing our environmental work. The pin code is 700075. It is not a polished corporate headquarters; it is more of a functional space where we can keep our equipment and all our files. The building has some real age to it, like many of the places in this part of town. We spend our days looking at engineering problems that affect the city and the surrounding areas. Sometimes it gets a bit noisy with all the traffic outside, but we have gotten used to it over the years. We do not have a big team here, just a handful of people who know their way around environmental data. There is not any fancy decor on the walls, just some old maps and a few calendars. We make our own tea and usually eat our lunch together at our desks. It is a humble sort of place, really. People who come to see us are usually surprised that we are not in a big glass building, but this works better for us. It is close to the heart of the city, and we can get to our research sites easily from Garfa. It is just a plain workspace.
