Sourav Educational Society

You can find Sourav Educational Society on the second floor of 11 B, Hem Chandra Naskar Road. We are right beside the Beliaghata Post Office, which is the easiest way to tell people how to get here. Being on the second floor means we get a little bit of a breeze in the summer, though we still rely on the ceiling fans quite a lot. The area around Kolkata 700010 is always moving, and the post office next door is always busy with people. Our space is pretty basic. We have a couple of rooms where we hold our sessions. There aren't any plush carpets or modern art on the walls—just the usual boards and rows of wooden desks. We have been operating this way for a while, and it seems to suit the people in Beliaghata just fine. We don't have a big front desk or a person to answer the phones all day. Usually, we are just in the middle of a lesson when someone knocks on the door. It’s a very informal setup. We like it that way because it keeps the focus on the books rather than the surroundings. The stairs up to the second floor are a bit narrow, so you have to be careful when two people are passing each other. It’s just a normal, hardworking place where we try to help the local kids with their education and nothing more.
